March Madness Participants Common Targets
Mika Aalto is Hoxhunt‘s co-founder and CEO. He said one of the most common tactics used by cybercriminals during March Madness is to send phishing attacks with enticing subject lines that promise free tickets or exclusive offers related to the tournament. Such emails are common for those who regularly participate in March Madness brackets or fantasy sports.
“If you receive a vague email reminding you to immediately fill in your bracket, take a moment to validate the legitimacy of offers or links before clicking on them, and never share sensitive information with unknown sources,” he said. “Be smart and stay safe during March Madness.”
