🎃 The scariest disguises aren't always Halloween costumes.
Sometimes they're fake IT calls, phishing emails, or convincing DMs. 👻
Cybersecurity Awareness Month may be ending, but we're just getting started.
Happy Halloween from SEC! 💜
#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
They know your name.
Your company.
Even your boss.
Cool. So does LinkedIn. 👀
Knowing details about you doesn't prove someone's identity.
SEC in 60 tip: Verify unexpected requests through a trusted channel.
#SECin60 #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
Oops. You clicked it. 👀
Don't panic.
🛑 Stop interacting
📣 Report it to IT/security
🔐 Entered credentials? Secure your account through the real site
💻 Downloaded something? Follow your security team's guidance
Fast reporting beats silent panic
#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
📞 Caller ID: IT Help Desk
They know your name and company. Then they ask you to read back a verification code.
🚩Caller ID can be spoofed.
Never share unexpected sign-in codes. Hang up and verify through a trusted channel.
Would you fall for it?
#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
Your privacy settings called. 📱
They miss you. 👀
SEC in 60 challenge:
⏱️ Who can see your posts?
🏷️ Who can tag you?
🔎 What's visible to strangers?
Take a minute to check. You might be surprised.
#SECin60 #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
New job. ✨
Vacation countdown. ✈️
Work badge selfie. 📸
Individually? Small details.
Together? A pretty good picture.
Your public profile might be telling strangers more than you think.
Take 60 seconds to review what you're sharing. 👀
#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
Free Wi-Fi? 👀
You scan a QR code at a coffee shop. Suddenly, it wants your email and password.
Still connecting?
QR codes aren't the problem. Untrusted destinations are.
Check the URL. Verify the source.
Would you have scanned it?
#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
Not every red flag is red. 🚩
Sometimes social engineering looks like someone being REALLY helpful.
Unexpected offer to fix a problem? Great. Just verify who you're talking to before sharing info or access.

#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
🚨 URGENT! ACT NOW!
Sound familiar?
Social engineers use urgency to make you react instead of think.
Real emergencies happen, too. That's why verification matters.
Pause. Question. Verify.
What's the wildest "urgent" request you've received?
#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
Your boss needs a favor. ASAP.
They're in a meeting. Can't talk. Details coming soon.
Normal Tuesday or social engineering attempt? 👀
Welcome to "Would You Fall for This?"
Spot the red flags. What's your next move?
#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth
It’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month 👀
Your security stack has something that firewalls, EDR, and MFA don’t cover:
People.
Give them the knowledge and permission to stop, question, and verify.
What’s one security habit you wish everyone practiced?

We did it! @_seash & I won the SECVC at DEF CON, but it was a toss up.
The last 30 seconds of our call decided 1st or 2nd. @rabbitheart42 deserves huge credit for such a close race.
THANK YOU @sec_defcon for an incredible event & all the time and effort your team puts into this

@defcon black badge acquired from the best community at the conference!
@AntlerSec killed it for his first time in the @sec_defcon vishing booth.
Due to technical issues outside of our control we're delayed in the #SECVC
Unfortunately we'll have to cancel Cold Calls today, we'll pick up tomorrow.
Thanks for your patience 💜

Tomorrow at 9am @_seash and @AntlerSec walk into the #SECVC booth sitting in 3rd place with everything to gain. Live calls, real pressure, a packed room listening to every word. They’ve got 22 minutes to obtain eternal glory.
Be in the @sec_defcon room at 9am to cheer them on!
