This week during Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the focus is on online shopping safety. It's no longer a novelty and we take it for granted, especially since the pandemic. Because we are making a financial transaction, the stakes are even higher than just browsing the internet. It's safe as long as we are aware of the danger areas and take steps to secure our accounts and device. This issue isn't all doom and gloom, though.
