Healthcare Cybersecurity Tip:

Be extra cautious when shopping online from work devices or networks. Cybercriminals often target healthcare professionals with phishing scams disguised as holiday deals. Never enter patient data or access sensitive systems while browsing retail sites. If you receive an email about a Cyber Monday deal, verify the sender and avoid clicking on links—go directly to the retailer’s website instead.
