With Black Friday quickly approaching, and retailers racing to outdo each other with earlier and earlier deals, it is safe to say that the holiday shopping season has begun. If you're shopping online, though, and paying with PayPal--be warned. There is a phishing attack targeted just for you.
The holidays come with a dramatic spike in shopping, and nobody appreciates the increase in online commerce more than cyber criminals. While you're preparing for a Thanksgiving celebration of beer and watching the Detroit Lions make a mockery of professional football...Hey, don't judge. You try supporting a team that has been consistently sad for 60 years and see if you aren't a little bitter. Fine. While you're preparing for a traditional Thanksgiving feast and plotting your Black Friday shopping strategy, malware developers are hard at work finding ways to capitalize on the shopping season.
