Cybersecurity for the Holidays!

Cybersecurity for the Holidays! The National Retail Federation has some fantastic tips for safe shopping this holiday season. Did you know online shopping is a perfect source for stolen passwords? Here are some tips to make your holidays safer online! 

  1. Don’t use simple passwords or reuse passwords. 
  2. Make sure you’re shopping on the right website. If you mistype a website by accident, sometimes there are scam websites deliberately misspelled to capture accidental web traffic. 
  3. Be careful with in-app purchases or 3rd party links! Social media likes to share links to online shopping websites - make sure it’s linking to the website you expect, otherwise your shopping may come to a quick halt.  
  4.  Use multi-factor authentication wherever possible. This makes it extremely hard for threat actors to acquire your credentials.
