October is National Cyber Security Awareness month, a time that the management at Facebook takes very seriously, but implements it in a very not-so-serious way.

For more than seven years, the month has been known at Facebook as “Hacktober,” a time when the cybersecurity team plays a month-long game of “trick or treat” with employees to see how prepared they are to defend themselves against cyber attacks.
