October is known for pumpkin spice, falling leaves, and all things frightful. But for your business, the biggest threat lurking isn’t a costumed ghoul—it’s a phishing email. As the official Cybersecurity Awareness Month encourages vigilance, cybercriminals leverage the seasonal chaos and high-stakes year-end deadlines to deploy their most effective scams.

A regional hospital had to divert patients for days when ransomware encrypted its medical records. Surgeries were postponed, emergency rooms closed, and recovery costs were staggering. The breach also caused a loss of trust from patients. A prominent law firm clicked on a spoofed email that looked like a client message. Attackers accessed confidential merger…
