The Shopping Season is Under Threat!

It’s almost that time of the year when people begin holiday shopping and spend their evenings curled up on a couch enjoying their favorite shows. Brands announce insane sales, new products are unveiled, and new TV shows are released to distract everyone from the snowy landscape.
It sounds lovely doesn’t it? But did you know that with the pleasantries of the holiday season come higher frequencies of cyber-attacks?

It's Not Snowflakes and Candy Canes
The annual trend of increase in phishing, scams and malware attacks has shown its face again. At this point in the calendar year, the landscape is ripe for malicious attacks on online shoppers, travelers and commuters using public wifi.
In 2016, Beaming reported that in April, there were approximately 400 cyber-attacks on companies in the UK region only. By November, the number of attacks had increased to 1100. Such a trends can be seen each year, in almost every region! According to Dimension Data, there were 50 million cyber-attacks in 2017, causing each affected individual to lose somewhere between $50 and $5,000 per incident.

What’s Going On?
Why does this happen? Millions of people make transactions each day. With almost every brand putting up lucrative sales promotions, the number of transactions sky rocket.
It becomes an ideal opportunity for hackers and snoopers to infect your devices with malware, and control your transactions.
