First we need a few details.
Christmas is around the corner, and with Black Friday and Boxing Day Sales just as eagerly anticipated, the holiday season has become a paradise for bargain hunters.
What was once a single-day event has now evolved into weeks of sales, often stretching across November and December. While this extended shopping period gives consumers more time and flexibility to score deals, it also creates a larger window for cyber criminals to target unsuspecting shoppers.
The longer shopping period gives cybercriminals extended opportunities to deploy scams, phishing attacks, and other cybersecurity threats. Advances in AI technology have only amplified these risks, enabling hackers to create increasingly convincing fake emails, websites and advertisements. AI allows these scams to mimic trusted brands with precision, making them more likely to deceive even cautious shoppers.
For organisations, unfortunately the risks are even greater, as employees shopping on company devices or falling victim to scams can expose sensitive networks and data. AI-driven phishing attacks are harder to detect, and malware downloads from seemingly legitimate sites can open the door to ransomware or unauthorised access to business systems.
