As 2020 comes to an end, businesses are scrambling to make up for the strains the pandemic has put on everyone. It's not going to be a normal holiday shopping season, with people crowded into stores and malls. The emphasis on online sales will break all records. Black Friday and Cyber Monday will merge as people look for gifts and bargains without leaving home.
Retailers aren't the only ones planning to cash in on the season. Criminals are hoping they'll get lots of presents from people who don't realize they're giving them. Presents like personal financial information and payments for scam offerings. If you're an online merchant, you need to be extra careful this time of year and keep your website well protected against malware and breaches.
Attacks such as Magecart have hit major e-commerce sites, including Newegg, Ticketmaster, and British Airways. They grab credit card information as people make purchases, yet there's no indication anything is wrong. You need the kind of top-quality protection that Quttera's ThreatSign offers to keep your site safe from malware and data theft.
It isn't just mail-order sales that are vulnerable. Buying online with pickup in the store has become popular, and it's subject to the same risks. The bad news for merchants is that if a customer picks up merchandise without presenting a card, the credit card company won't take any responsibility.
ThreatSign Website Security will give your website protection against malware and data breaches. It includes scanning, a Web Application Firewall, malware cleanup, and removal from blacklists.
