Christmas is a week away and many folks are doing last minute shopping and having gifts shipped to loved ones. However, the hustle and bustle of the season might cost you dearly. Too many people have had their credit card information stolen because they had been careless when shopping online.
There are some steps to ensure you’re protected. First, be sure the website itself has an HTTPS connection in order to know that your information is locked and secured. Also, make sure you are making your purchase over a secure WiFi connection and have strong random passwords in order to put up more roadblocks for hackers.
