Back-to-School Scams Every Parent and Educator Needs to Know

🎒 Back-to-School Scams Are Smarter Than Ever

⚡ Parents rushing to grab deals on laptops are unknowingly entering fake stores.

⚡ Students eager for “free resources” are handing over personal data to cybercriminals.

⚡ Schools themselves are receiving fake vendor invoices that slip past busy staff.

This is not just about money – identity theft, compromised accounts, and system-wide breaches are all on the rise during back-to-school season.

🚨 What makes these scams so effective? They exploit urgency and trust at the very moment when families, students, and schools are most distracted. Attackers count on you being too busy to notice the red flags.

💡 Cyber awareness has to be on the checklist, right next to backpacks and books. That’s why recurring, human-focused simulations are the fastest way to spot vulnerabilities before attackers do.

🔒 At AUMINT.io, we design simulations that reveal real risks and help strengthen defenses where they matter most.
