As students get ready for winter break and prepare for holidays, some may need to modify their traditional celebrations due to the ongoing pandemic. “Usually during the holidays I hang out with friends, go present shopping, and eat out with family,” Niya Katsarska, junior said about her regular winter break traditions. “Now I’m trying to distract myself with other things I enjoy and come up with different ways to do things, so instead of shopping in person, I’m doing online shopping for presents.”

Cybercrime increased by six counts this year, according to PurpleSec statistics, which is why students need to be aware of any malicious activity they see online. “I get a lot of Instagram DMs that have random links in them,” Julia Cison, senior who was hacked on Instagram, said. “I’ll never go into them or look at them anymore because thats what I think started when I got hacked. Maybe I clicked on a link or something that someone sent me, so I just pay attention to what I do on my phone to make sure it doesnt happen again.”
