The holidays are just around the corner, and while the festive shopping season is exciting, it also attracts cybercriminals seeking easy targets. Here are some tips to help you shop safely:

  • Stick to Trusted Websites: Make sure you’re shopping on websites with HTTPS encryption (look for the padlock symbol).
  • Use Credit Cards, Not Debit: Credit cards offer better fraud protection than debit cards.
  • Beware of Deals That Sound Too Good to Be True: Cybercriminals often set up fake online stores to steal your personal information. If you find a deal that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
