High season for phishing and identity thef
Black Friday and the upcoming Christmas season mean that a lot of people are filling their shopping carts on online stores. Cybercriminals have also figured this out, and therefore, the number of attempts at identity theft and phishing increases significantly during this time.
So be extra cautious when you receive messages:
- Is the sender someone you trust? For example, if you receive emails or SMS about package pickups.
- Does the message itself contain spelling errors?
- Does the sender's email address look legitimate?
