With more Americans expected to do their holiday shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is urging all consumers to be on alert for holiday shopping scams and cyber threats, which historically spike during the holiday season.

CISA has launched a new webpage with information for consumers on what to look for and how to avoid falling victim to fraud, through a series of easy-to-follow safety tips, videos and graphics.

“Americans are adjusting their travel and shopping habits for a holiday season that’s sure to be unlike anything we have experienced,” said Acting CISA Director Brandon Wales. “Hackers, scammers and thieves will take advantage of these changes and the generosity of the public during the holidays to target online shoppers and those giving to charities. There are a few simple steps everyone can take to lower their risk and have a safe and enjoyable holiday season.”
