In a shocking turn of events, cybercriminals have decided that instead of using traditional break-and-enter tactics, they’ll simply schedule a meeting with your IT department through a suspiciously well-crafted Google Calendar invite. After all, nothing screams ‘I’m a hacker’ more than turning up in coordinated, embroidered team shirts.
This week, the digital robbers are taking a page from the ‘I’m totally meant to be here’ playbook. Apparently, when you’re dressed for the job you want, it also helps if you’re holding a clipboard, claiming you need to ‘check the mainframe’. Security experts are being urged to conduct thorough background checks on anyone suspiciously confident with their computer jargon.

Look up once in a while, cyber warriors! There’s real work to be done, and it’s likely fixing the 3D-printed badge swiper that’s probably already missing from your office.
