Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2024: Secure Your Deals and Your Data!
Technical Drive is here to help you spot scams while discovering deals!
Stay Ahead of Cyber Criminals as the Shopping Spree Kicks Off!
While you hunt for bargains this Black Friday and Cyber Monday, cybercriminals are equally active, ready to exploit any opportunity!
Whether it’s a fake delivery issue, a too-good-to-be-true discount, or a phoney customer service query, the risks are real!
With the surge in enticing but dubious deals, it’s crucial to ensure you’re on a legitimate website and sharing your sensitive details with a genuine seller.
You might find yourself in a tug-of-war with a fellow customer...
But What Online Adversaries Might you Face?
-
Phishing Attacks: Scammers send fake emails and texts posing as retailers, urging clicks on malicious links or personal info. The surge in promotional emails makes it hard to spot fraud.
-
Malware and Ransomware: Ransomware encrypts data and demands payment for the decryption key. Businesses are especially vulnerable during Black Friday and Cyber Monday due to high transaction volumes.
-
Magecart/E-Skimming: Hackers inject malicious code into websites to steal payment info during transactions, targeting online shoppers.
-
Fake Online Stores: Scammers create fake websites to trick users into providing payment details, often mimicking legitimate retailers.
-
Third-Party Vendor Vulnerabilities: Weaknesses in third-party vendors' security can be exploited, compromising businesses' data and operations.
-
Increased Website Traffic: High website traffic during sales events can strain security measures, making sites more vulnerable to attacks.
