Attackers Don't Take Holidays, But They Know You Do

Security research analyzing April alert data indicates attackers coordinate increased activity ahead of holiday weekends when defense teams are reduced. The ROC STAR Report documents timing patterns, tools, and tactics exploited during these periods.

Why it matters: Security operations teams should staff and monitor more aggressively before holiday breaks, since adversaries time attacks to exploit reduced coverage and delayed response.
