Cyber Monday is upon us, and while it’s true that it’s by and large a manufactured event designed to help part you from as much of your holiday cash as possible, the forces of competition mean there will be some screamingly great deals, too.
However, there will be other forces at work as well: the forces of evil!
These no-goodniks seek to part you from your personal information, your credit card numbers and what’s left of your post-Black Friday bank balance by means most foul. Faster than a speeding bullet, you’ll find your identity being used to buy beans in Bangkok and purchase peonies in Peoria.
How can you avoid becoming a victim of this holiday chicanery? Read on, citizens, and we’ll steer you through the hacker minefields and into the safely SSL-encrypted shores of commerce.
