Christmas is traditionally seen as a time filled with peace, joy, and goodwill. Unfortunately, scammers haven’t got the message, and will take advantage of the season in an attempt to steal Christmas – literally.
Just as the Grinch stole the Whos’ presents, trees, and food, hackers are keen to steal your data and money using a range of methods. They rely on the fact that, at Christmas, people are buying a lot of stuff. They're also aware that people are waiting on legitimate communications from delivery companies, looking for gifts, and anticipating communications from friends and family. Ultimately, this means we're all that much more likely to fall for a scam.
