📧 Credential theft remains one of the most common ways attackers breach accounts. It often starts with something as simple as reused passwords, phishing links or unsecured logins. As the online shopping season kicks in, it’s more important than ever to stay alert. Cybercriminals know this is when people are most distracted and when irresistible deals are everywhere. Whether you’re hunting for bargains or checking out from your favourite retailer, a few smart habits can make all the difference in protecting your identity, your data, and your wallet.
