There’s a lot to do for the coming festive season. As beautiful as the Advent season is, it brings a lot of stress with it. This is what fraudsters count on.
26.11.2024 –Hunting for Christmas bargains, organising last-minute presents, dealing with the flood of emails before the holidays – in the heat of the moment, it's easy to overlook the odd warning signal and the risk of falling into a phishing trap increases. So remember: always keep calm! Check the online shops and the general terms and conditions of the online retailers carefully before you make a purchase. Special care should be taken with bargains that seem too good to be true. Always read your emails carefully and do not click on any links sent with them. Cyber criminals rely on time pressure and know exactly what to do: most people become careless under stress. So, always keep calm so that you can start the Advent season in a relaxed manner.
