Phishers Love "The Big Event"

Popular events are prime targets for cybercrime.

Big sporting events, concerts, conventions, and other entertainment or large gathering opportunities fuel cybercriminal activity

The bigger the event or its appeal, the more likely it is to be targeted by hackers and scammers looking for low-hanging fruit

Some things to look out for when it comes to big events:

  • Cheap, discounted, or FREE tickets
  • Additional private or limited showings for a cost or providing privileged information
  • Benefits, behind-the-scenes opportunities, meet-and-greets too good to be true
