As the holiday season progresses, cybercriminals are increasingly targeting shoppers, particularly with scams related to online retail and package theft. A recent report highlights that nearly 80% of consumers have experienced holiday scams, with major concerns surrounding phishing emails that mimic legitimate retailers to steal personal information. Additionally, incidents of 'porch piracy' are on the rise, with thieves stealing packages directly from doorsteps, often in the presence of delivery drivers. In the UK, banks have warned that nearly £2 million was lost to scammers during the last festive period. Experts advise consumers to remain vigilant and adopt safe shopping practices to avoid falling victim to these schemes.
