November 4, 2025

The holiday shopping season is here, and while you’re busy hunting down the best deals, cybercriminals are hunting something else: your personal information. From Black Friday to Cyber Monday, millions of consumers rush online to snag discounts, and that’s exactly when scammers strike.

The Dark Side of Holiday Shopping Online 

 

Each year, online holiday shopping scams cost consumers billions of dollars. Fake websites, phishing emails, and bogus delivery texts spike between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, as fraudsters take advantage of distracted shoppers and high transaction volumes. 

 

Common holiday scams include: 

  • Fake retail websites impersonating major brands 
  • Phishing emails offering “exclusive holiday deals” that steal your credit card details 
  • Charity scams that exploit goodwill during the Christmas giving season 
  • Package tracking scams that trick you into clicking malicious links 

 

And it’s not just online shopping. Even in-store holiday transactions can expose your personal data through compromised Wi-Fi networks and card skimmers.
