We can all agree on one thing: Cybersecurity is definitely witnessing a moment in the news. From ransomware incidents to the social media power outage, our news feeds are already full to the brim—and this is just the beginning of October.
In honor of Cybersecurity Awareness Month, here is a compilation of some of the funniest tweets SecureWorld News could find. Spice up one of your office presentations or give a fellow colleagues a laugh with one of these posts.
Not to mention, if you feel like sharing one (or a few) of your all-time favorite funny Twitter posts about cybersecurity, leave it in the comments section. Don't be afraid to get creative and make your own post to share with a self-made meme, either.
Let's dig into the tweets!
