Christmas Day fast approaching, now is a timely opportunity to consider fast, effective techniques of raising public awareness of online scams - especially as it’s estimated that UK shoppers are set to spend £24.1 billion online this festive season*.

Incorporating the theme of scams into classic carols and songs can easily raise cyber-security awareness, as it’s believed that rhyme and music can help people retain important information.

Experts at Scams.info harnessed AI technology to create scam-aware adaptations of classic Christmas carols and songs, including Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You, Jingle Bells, Wham’s Last Christmas, Silent Night, and Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. The company also partnered with James Roy, the Technical Director at Brainworks Neurotherapy, to delve into the significance of rhyming for learning.

All I Want Is Online Safety (Inspired by Mariah Carey’s All I Want For Christmas Is You)

I don't need a flashy website,

To know it's safe for me.

Just want a secure connection,

No online threats, let it be.

I won't ask for your credentials,

Or your personal key.

I just want to browse in peace,

With my digital sanctity.

I just want to surf the net safely,

Cybersecurity is what I plea.

No phishing scams, no honey traps,

All I want is online safety.

I won't fall for those fake emails,

Or click on links unsure.

I'll update my software savvy,

No malware knocking at my door.

I don't need a Christmas virus,

No ransomware for me.

I just want a cozy online space,

No digital calamity.

I just want to surf the net safely,

Cybersecurity is what I plea.

No phishing scams, no honey traps,

All I want is online safety.

According to James Roy, Technical Director at Brainworks Neurotherapy:
“Melodies formed through rhyming often feature rhythmic patterns naturally promoting repetition, thereby strengthening memory traces in the brain. This strengthens the connection between rhymed words and the information they represent, making recall easier when required.

“Rhyming serves as a cognitive tool with a remarkable impact on memory, engaging the brain's intricate processes.”
