A Sarcastic Look at the Everyday Security Mistakes That Put You at Risk

Stay Safe From Hackers: 10 Security Mistakes is a 1-page digital or printable reference guide that uses humor and sarcasm to expose some of the most common online behaviors that put users at risk. Instead of offering traditional “best practices,” this resource flips the script—presenting ten tongue-in-cheek “tips” guaranteed to make a hacker’s day. Examples include oversharing personal information online, saving passwords in browsers or unencrypted notes, clicking unsubscribe on suspicious emails, and creating unnecessary online accounts.

By highlighting these risky habits in a playful way, the guide helps employees recognize patterns they may be overlooking in their own daily routines. It’s an engaging way to shed light on the real dangers of weak password practices, careless social media behavior, unsafe Wi-Fi habits, and unsecure travel routines—all without overwhelming users with technical jargon.

This resource is perfect for organizations that want to reinforce personal cyber safety in a friendly, memorable format. And with custom branding available, you can feature your company logo to align the message with your organization’s security awareness initiatives.
