Midnight Breakfast 2025 – Sharing Cybersecurity Tips

Link

GW IT Staff Host Interactive Table at Midnight Breakfast 2025

Every December GW provides students a stress reducing night of games, treats, and of course breakfast.  GW IT Cybersecurity staff prepared an interactive 'Phishing Awareness' for students.  The team estimates over 300 students participating in f[P]hishing  for cyber risks, threats, and tips and interacting with staff about whether they were 'Phished' (caught by insufficient secure computing) or 'Shook the Hook' (protected by best practice). The team members shared insights, examples, and reinforced best practices.  For anyone who received some strong suggestions during the conversations, please take a look at our resources for additional information on how you can better protect yourself.
