'Tis the Season for Safe Holiday Shopping

Source: E-Commerce Times

Nov 07, 2009

Summary

While recent reports don't predict a major recovery for retailers this holiday season, the outlook for e-commerce sites is slightly more optimistic: 2009 will post an 18 percent increase in online holiday shopping over last year. For many consumers, though, the convenience of online shopping comes with a hefty price: their identity. Holidays are when the majority of online identity theft problems occur. The number of identity theft victims is likely to rise this year. There is little doubt that fraudsters can -- and will -- prey on online shoppers.
