According to Sitelock, websites experience an average of 63 security attack attempts per day. While many attacks are repelled, online shoppers don’t want a stat like this on their mind while they get ready for Cyber Monday — or, more accurately, retailers don’t want shoppers to have this on their minds as they get ready to go online in the coming weeks.
Booz Allen’s Cyber4Sight report, released earlier this month, also highlighted the significance of security concerns during the holiday season — in particular, return and refund fraud, retail and bank account takeover, website outages and point-of-sale breaches. It’s not as if cyber threats are coming out of nowhere.
