Holiday Cyber Threats: Why Hackers Never Take a Christmas Break
In this special holiday episode of Diritto al Digitale, host and tech lawyer Giulio Coraggio (DLA Piper) unwraps the hidden dangers lurking behind the festive season—specifically, the surge in ransomware and cyberattacks that target businesses when they’re most vulnerable. As December sales skyrocket, especially in retail and e-commerce, so do the risks. Criminals count on heightened activity, overstretched IT teams, and the pressure to keep operations running smoothly during peak season to maximize their gains.
Join us as we explore why Christmas has become a prime hunting ground for cybercriminals and discover how remote working setups create additional weak points. We’ll dive into real-world scenarios of ransomware attacks, discuss the critical steps organizations should take when facing a system lockdown, and highlight the importance of legal and technical readiness. You’ll also learn about the evolving regulatory environment—specifically the NIS2 Directive and DORA Regulation—and what these new cybersecurity obligations mean for your business.
Whether you’re a retail operator, an IT manager, or simply curious about the challenges of modern cybersecurity, this episode provides the insights you need to avoid ending up on a cybercriminal’s wish list. Tune in to learn how to protect your data, maintain customer trust, and keep your operations secure, so you can ring in the holidays without the threat of a Christmas cyber Grinch.
