Here are five common shopper profiles observed during the year-end shopping period and the cyber scams they should watch out for, according to Akamai.
The holiday season is, unfortunately, a favourite season for cyber attackers too.
“It is no surprise that attackers are looking to take advantage of the flurry of peak retail activity online during the extended shopping festival season since there’s much to gain financially, especially in Asia that accounts for approximately 60% of global ecommerce sales. It’s essential that shoppers and retailers work together to learn how to watch out for scams and protect themselves,” says Dean Houari, director of Security Technology and Strategy for APJ at Akamai.
