Myrtle Beach, SC, Nov. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a report recently released by Adobe Analytics, online consumer spending this holiday season is set to jump by 33% from 2019. Just as these numbers are increasing, as are those of cyber scams targeting consumers. A recent statistic shared by the FBI revealed that cyber scams are up by 400-percent since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Amidst the global health pandemic, the 2020 holiday season is set to shatter cyber-shopping records of years past. In fact, it's estimated by Nerd Wallet that 7 in 10 people will do all of their shopping online – more than we've ever seen before. However, with that convenience, also comes the threats of cyber scams targeting American consumers.
To discuss the types of scams and/or threats targeting consumers, cybersecurity expert Rob Cheng is available via Skype or phone. During the media availability, Mr. Cheng can share simple steps that Americans can take to protect themselves while shopping online, and a host of others topics.
