‘Tis The Season To Be Savvy': Silent Night, Secure Online
 (1).png)
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.
Silent Night (inspired by "Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht” composed by Franz Xaver Gruber to lyrics by Joseph Mohr)
Silent night, secure online,
All is calm, protect thy sign.
Round yon passwords, keep them tight,
Holy cyber, avoid the fright.
Sleep in scam-free peace,
Sleep in scam-free peace.
Silent night, on social streams,
Share with care, not all your dreams.
Keep it private, don't ignite,
The oversharing blight.
Sleep in scam-free peace,
Sleep in scam-free peace.
Silent night, your data's dear,
Update your software, have no fear.
Firewall strong, a shining light,
Malware thwarted, out of sight.
Sleep in scam-free peace,
Sleep in scam-free peace.
All is calm, protect thy sign.
Round yon passwords, keep them tight,
Holy cyber, avoid the fright.
Sleep in scam-free peace,
Sleep in scam-free peace.
Silent night, on social streams,
Share with care, not all your dreams.
Keep it private, don't ignite,
The oversharing blight.
Sleep in scam-free peace,
Sleep in scam-free peace.
Silent night, your data's dear,
Update your software, have no fear.
Firewall strong, a shining light,
Malware thwarted, out of sight.
Sleep in scam-free peace,
Sleep in scam-free peace.
James Roy, Technical Director at Brainworks Neurotherapy emphasizes:
“Rhyming acts as a mental scaffold that aids in organizing and making data accessible in our brain's memory storage." The repetitive aspect of rhymes is another pivotal factor significantly benefiting memory. Repetition plays a crucial role in memory consolidation, reinforcing neural connections.”
