In 2023 alone, over $1 trillion was lost to online scams*, a staggering figure that underscores the immense and growing impact of cyber crime on consumers worldwide. Today, the lack of clear-cut borders online makes it easier than ever for scammers to reach and exploit unsuspecting individuals across regions and platforms. To tackle this pervasive issue, F-Secure developed the Scam Tactics & Techniques Framework—a systematic breakdown of how modern online scams work. Presented by our researcher Amit Tambe at Microsoft’s #BlueHat conference, the framework is the first of its kind to offer a comprehensive, structured analysis of scam techniques and methods, empowering security professionals, businesses, and consumers to understand and anticipate scammer tactics more effectively. Interested in learning how this approach can help turn the tide in the fight against online scams?

Today we celebrate Diwali at our Helsinki & Bengaluru offices 💫 Priyanka Shrivastava (She/Her), who is working as a P&C Project Manager in Helsinki, shared her thoughts on the festival of lights: "As I reflect on my 12 years in Finland, Diwali always brings back a flood of warm childhood memories from India. This Festival of Lights, celebrating Lord Rama’s return after 14 years in exile, is a time of togetherness, joy, and reflection. Even though I’m miles away from home, I try to recreate the magic of Diwali in my own way, right here in Finland. At home, I prepare traditional Indian delicacies and snacks, just like we did during my childhood. I want my children to experience the beauty of this festival — the love, the prosperity, and the deeper meaning behind the rituals. For me, Diwali is not just a celebration but a way to pass on the values and traditions that I hold dear. Beyond our home, our local community comes together to celebrate Diwali with cultural performances, delicious food, warm connections, and fireworks. No matter where in the world I am, Diwali remains a celebration of light, love, and connection. I cherish the chance to create new memories with my family here in Finland while honoring the old." Wishing everyone a bright and joyful Diwali! ✨🪔

As we reflect on #WorldMentalHealthDay, we asked our Fellows to share how they balance their mental health while navigating the demands of modern working life. From evening strolls and concerts to running long distances, our fellows had some unique ways to unwind and recharge. 🔋 What do these all have in common? Each practice highlights how essential it is to take time for yourself, whether through yoga, arts and crafts, or even wielding a sword to forget the stresses of the day! 🤺 For some, it’s about being mindful (and very demure ✨) through knitting and crocheting, or simply spending time in nature. We loved seeing the variety of ways our fellows take care of themselves, reflecting the different life situations and personal preferences we all have. For some, it’s the joy of celebrating a child's sports team victory, while others find comfort in reality shows to escape seasonal blues. Some embrace the need for an emotional release, taking a moment for a good ol' scream to let go of stress.😱 The campaign reminds us all of the importance of taking care of our mental health. While there are always ways for individuals to prioritize themselves and practice self-care, it's equally important to seek help and support from medical professionals when needed. Taking care of yourself doesn’t mean doing it alone—sometimes, reaching out is the best way to nurture your well-being. 💙 #WorldMentalHealthDay #Fellowsforwellbeing World Health Organization
