Love it or loathe it, the festive season is almost here again (and doesn't it seem to come around faster every year?) Whether rushing around looking for presents, planning Christmas Day lunch, visiting relatives or just planning to chill, keeping self, family, finances and devices safe online may not be uppermost in many people's minds. But it really does need to be up there, because fraudsters know that people are distracted and therefore vulnerable. Our awareness campaign for December, launching today, is about staying alert and not taking anything at face value. Are we paranoid? Nope ... just sensible! We hope you have a great run-up to Christmas https://lnkd.in/e5bbHVhM
