Don’t Get Scammed: Cyber Threats Every Business Should Watch This Holiday Season

Join Ekaru for a workshop on Thursday December 11th at 2pm EST.   We're pleased to be bringing you the latest new info! Join us Thursday to talk about "Don’t Get Scammed: Cyber Threats Every Business Should Watch This Holiday Season.
Community and technology education are our strongest values, and a big part of our Ekaru mission.

The holiday season is prime time for cybercriminals. From fake gift card requests to cleverly crafted phishing texts, scams are getting more sophisticated - and more expensive. In this workshop, our cybersecurity experts will break down the top scams targeting small businesses, explain how these threats operate year-round, and show you how to protect your team, your data, and your bottom line. Whether you're a business owner or part of a team, you'll walk away with practical tools to stay secure - not just during the holidays, but every day. 

🔍 What You’ll Learn:

• 🎁 Holiday-Themed Gift Card Scams Emails or texts impersonating a boss or executive asking employees to buy gift cards urgently. Why these work: social pressure, time sensitivity, and spoofed identities.
• 📱 “Are You Available?” Text Message Scams A growing all-year-round scam that intensifies during the holidays. Often the first step in a larger social engineering attack.
• 💻 Phishing and Fake Delivery Notifications Spoofed emails from Amazon, UPS, or FedEx tricking users into clicking malware links. Perfectly timed to the gift-giving season when everyone’s expecting deliveries.
• 🧑‍💼 Business Email Compromise (BEC) Fraudsters spoofing.

🎯 Who It’s For:

Small and mid-sized business owners, office managers, and anyone responsible for operations, compliance, or technology -  no IT background needed.

A big part of our mission at Ekaru is providing important technology related information to our local small businesses in the community, helping you make informed decisions.
