Small Business Cyber Target? Maybe a Rabbit Foot Helps…

It is Friday and we are trying to find jokes in cybersecurity? or are we?

  We are selling these rabbit feet so that you will not get hacked*

"Why don’t small business owners worry about cybersecurity? 
Because they’ve got a secret weapon: their grandma’s lucky rabbit foot! 
Rub it once, and hackers turn into confused squirrels. 
Phishing emails? Poof—replaced with coupon flyers for squirrel-proof Wi-Fi. 
Who needs two-factor authentication when you’ve got superstition and a foot fetish?"


Many owners aren’t tech-savvy and view cybersecurity as an arcane art. 
This learned helplessness means they don’t even try — assuming "it’s too complex" 
They hope their outdated antivirus from 2012 will "figure it out."

Small businesses thrive on personal relationships, which spills into tech. 
They’re prone to social engineering because they trust too much
— and so click a link from "Bob at the bank" without a second thought. 
Doesn't our neighbor know someone from Nigeria?
It’s less naivety, more a hard coded belief that people aren’t out to get them.

Running a small business is a juggling act—payroll, inventory, customers  so 
cybersecurity feels like one more ball they can’t catch. 
This leads to avoidance behavior. 
They know they should install updates or train staff, but their brain says, 
"Later. After I fix the leaky sink."  Because hackers will wait for you to do something...

Many small business owners believe their size makes them invisible to cybercriminals. 
Psychologically, this is a mix of optimism bias (bad things happen to others, not me) and denial 
(ignoring the stats 60% of small businesses hit by cyberattacks close within six months). 
They think, "Why would a hacker in Russia care about my bakery’s $500 weekly revenue?"   
Thus you should pick up rabbit foot - get 2 that will help better(or more).   Rabbit Feet on Ebay 


* Purchasing a rabbit foot from our rabbit foot store may not give you any cybersecurity protection.  '
I just wanted to make that clear.
