Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Cancer, October is the month of surprises and the unexpected, and not just because of Halloween pumpkins! The stars warn you to prepare for potential digital “trick or treats.” This is the perfect time to strengthen your defenses and stay alert against threats hidden behind well-crafted masks.

Monthly Predictions:

1. Phishing in costume

October brings phishing attacks disguised as urgent corporate communications or contract notifications. Don’t be fooled by appearances. The stars suggest maintaining a skeptical attitude and educating your team to always verify the authenticity of messages.

2. New threats in legacy software

The stars advise you to perform a thorough check on your old systems and legacy software. You might discover dormant vulnerabilities that hackers are ready to exploit. This month is perfect for planning updates or migrations to more modern and secure solutions.

3. Beware of IoT “tricks”

Attacks against IoT devices will be on the rise in October. Those small gadgets that seem harmless could represent an entry point for cybercriminals. Verify that all connected devices are well-protected and do not leave them wandering the network without supervision.

4. Spectral backdoors

The stars indicate that you might discover backdoors left open by old vendors or employees. Don’t wait for these flaws to be exploited: conduct a complete audit of access and permissions, eliminating any trace of unnecessary or forgotten access.

5. Incident response, prepare for the worst

October could hold surprises, and not all of them will be welcome. The stars advise you to review your incident response plan and conduct a drill simulating a crisis. It is better to be ready to handle the worst than to be caught unprepared when the unexpected arrives.

Advice from the Stars:

The best way to face the tricks of October is to prepare your defenses in advance. Nothing beats prevention!

He who anticipates the unexpected fears no digital witch!
