Even considering widespread belt-tightening caused by COVID-19-related job loss, Deloitte projects a continued rise in retail sales over last year’s figures. The firm forecasts that e-commerce sales could rise by as much as 35% due to limited in-store retail options.

For shoppers looking to score great deals while filling out their holiday shopping list, one misinformed action can result in a malware infection, stolen personal data, or a hijacked credit card number.

“This year’s bad holiday actors will capitalize on COVID-19 and the increase in online shopping by using the brand names of leading e-tailers, as well as exploiting the poor security habits of consumers,” said RiskIQ CEO Lou Manousos. “With shoppers having little option but to rely heavily on e-commerce this holiday season, we hope to shed some light on tactics to stay safe online.”

RiskIQ has also introduced a Holiday Shopping Microsite to help shoppers better protect themselves and others from data breaches. Users can report suspicious URLs to help record-keeping of new online hosts and domains related to holiday shopping, so security teams can better respond to the influx of criminal activity.
