During this holiday season scammers are targeting shoppers with malicious advertising, called malvertising.
Malvertising is when cybercriminals use fake ads and sponsored search results to deliver malware to you. Clicking on these can compromise your device or personal information.
How to protect yourself:
-
Avoid clicking on sponsored ads entirely.
-
Use genuine search engine results or type the retailer’s website URL directly into your browser.
-
Keep your devices updated with antivirus software to block malicious sites.
