Halloween may rule October, but there’s something even scarier than ghosts and ghouls afoot, and that’s cybercriminals. These devious, unseen bandits scour the internet looking to feed on the hard-earned cash of unsuspecting victims.

But have no fear. In honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we’ve put together a slew of easy-to-understand resources aimed at giving you the knowledge you need to keep yourself safe from marauding fraudsters.

Protect yourself, your friends and family by sharing any of the following resources with them.
