Black Friday and Cyber Monday: keeping your business safe online
The biggest shopping days of the year are also some of the biggest days for online fraud.
Around Black Friday and Cyber Monday, fake "deals," spoofed retailer emails, and lookalike websites flood inboxes, and a distracted employee shopping on a work device is an easy target.
Keep your business safe
- Beware of "too good" deals and unexpected order or shipping emails, go to the retailer directly instead of clicking
- Keep work and personal shopping separate where you can
- Watch for invoice and vendor fraud, which ramps up alongside the noise
- Lean on your protections: email filtering and MFA catch much of this automatically
For retailers and nonprofits
If your own organization runs promotions or year-end giving campaigns this season, make sure your site, payment handling, and donor data are locked down, attackers follow the money too.
