The good folks at IBM have written a very nice summary of the dangers everyone will face while doing online shopping for the next few weeks. We found it an excellent read for those interested in what will be going on in the cybercrime world to lure you into their traps.

Be safe out there during the next few weeks, avoid websites you do not usually go to, and keep your defenses up to date.  As they say, if it is too good of a deal there has to be something wrong with it. Something to think about while surfing the web for those can't miss deals out there. Even sites that seem legitimate can have dangers lurking about, so be extra careful to not get sent all around the world wide web to save a dollar or two. Stick with those sites you have used before in the past with no dangers, and have some way to monitor your credit during this holiday season. Could save you a lot of trouble down the road.

We here at the Network Security Group wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving, enjoy your time off with your families.
