Stay Safe While Shopping Online

Summer is here! Kids are out of school, and maybe you have a vacation planned – but cybercriminals never take a holiday. Whether you’re booking a hotel room, buying concert tickets, picking up stuff for your garden, or taking advantage of summer clothing sales, stay vigilant when making online purchases.

Several years ago, most people made very few online purchases. Now, Amazon Prime Day(s) are touted almost as much as holidays, and some people buy almost everything online. You can make purchases, and even pay, with your mobile phone. The downside of this convenience is that it gives cyber thieves more ways to get into your wallet.

But just like there are ways to protect yourself when in a crowded place that may harbor pickpockets, there are ways to protect yourself from the cyber bag snatchers. CouponChief has put together an Online Shopping Safety Guide to educate consumers on security concerns and provide some tips on what you can do to protect yourself.  Give it a read, and enjoy your summer shopping, safely!
