The Monster using a mobile device is certainly not the way Frankenstein author Mary Shelley — or evenYoung Frankenstein screenplay writers Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder — ever envisioned him. But modern times call for a modern creature, and now it's up to you to set the updated scene with a clever cybersecurity-related caption. Our favorite will win a $25 Amazon gift card.

Here are four convenient ways to submit your ideas before the April 12, 2023, deadline:

  • Email [email protected] with the subject line "Dark Reading March Toon."

  • Via social media: Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. (If you win, we'll respond to you on the same platform, requesting your email address.)

Last Month's Winner

A round of applause goes to Todd Schamberger, information security manager/CISSP at accounting firm Miller Kaplan. Todd's caption (below) hit the nail — er, computer — right on its head. And a big thanks to all who submitted their ideas!
