CyberMonday Security

Cyber Monday is a popular shopping event that attracts cybercriminals and hackers due to its popularity and the availability of public WiFi. Consumers should be cautious when shopping online during this period, as there are likely to be many bogus websites and phishing emails. To stay safe, it's essential to protect passwords on high-risk sites, use a password manager, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible, and monitor credit card and debit card transactions. Additionally, consumers should only visit legitimate websites by manually entering the URL or via Google search results, be wary of email offers that seem too good to be true, and consider using proactive SMS fraud alerts from their financial institutions.
