What’s your craziest cybersecurity story?

First off, loved the story Anne-Graham ! Had a little chuckle when reading it on the train because the requests were so absurd. Highly recommend everyone in the community give it a read. 

I've not had hackers ask me to invest in automatic dog feeders (surprisingly) but I do recall one crazy situation of cyber impersonation. It was my first day in a previous job of mine and I'd received an email from none other than the 'CEO' saying that they'd like to speak to me but was caught up in a 'conference call'. The faux-CEO then asked to reply to the email with my WhatsApp number so that we could chat there. 

Safe to say I didn't fall for it because:

1. I had done cybersecurity training prior and knew what phishing emails were and how to identify them; and
2. I could spot the CEO in the kitchen sleepily slumped over the coffee machine from across the office and thought it highly unlikely that they were caught up in a conference call nor was in the mood to chat!!

Can't wait to hear more stories from the community - and if you haven't already go register for our webinar on Thursday the 29th February. We'll be looking at even more cyber stories and what you can do to make sure your business stays cyber safe.
