It’s October, which means the biggest online shopping day of the YEAR is just weeks away: Cyber Monday. Unfortunately, it’s also open season for cybercriminals. Because preparation is the best prevention, we’re covering the six most common shopping scams this time of year and how to avoid them.
It’s Open Season For Shopping Scams Thanks to cybercriminals, what should be a season of festive shopping is now dangerous for consumers. According to the Federal Trade Commission, shopping scams were the second-worst type of scam in the US in 2023. And online scams are at their worst during the holidays. According to TransUnion’s 2022 Global Digital Fraud Trends report, there was a 127% increase in daily fraud attempts

But it’s not simply volume that contributes to the rise in attacks; consumers take more risks during the holiday season.
