Today is Cyber Monday and we hope that everyone remains cautious while doing their online shopping. Some common types of scams that can occur today are Phishing Scams through emails that may appear from legitimate retailers enticing you to click on links. Credit Card fraud is also very common as cybercriminals may attempt to steal your credit card information by intercepting payment details during online transactions. Gift Card scams are also extremely common fraudsters may sell fake or used gift cards at discounted rates, where buyers can end up with non-functional or empty gift cards. Finally, amount takeovers are extremely common where hackers target amounts on commerce websites attempting to gain access to your account and card information.
Some ways to protect yourself are using secure websites, having strong account passwords, regularly monitoring your account statements, and verifying the website's deals and legitimacy.
We hope everyone has a safe Cyber Monday!
