Sure enough, as if in response to my post yesterday, Network World published an article talking about holiday cyber scams. From the article:
"With cyber Monday comes an FBI warning against spam containing malware and phishing attempts that appear to be greeting cards and ads for shopping bargains.
The goal is theft of money and personal information, according to Shawn Henry, the assistant director of the bureau’s cyber division.

E-mails attempt to lure victims to dummy e-commerce sites in hopes of gleaning credit card numbers and passwords, the FBI says. By mimicking legitimate sites, they lull unsuspecting shoppers into giving up the information as they make what they think are legitimate purchases."
Just another reminder to stay safe this holiday season.
