The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Cybersecurity and Critical Infrastructure Protection (OCCIP) has warned consumers to remain alert against cyber or online scams this holiday shopping season.
OCCIP released an advisory highlighting tips consumers can take to avoid becoming the victim of cyber or online scams.
This year the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled cybercriminals to automate malicious phishing attacks. As cybercriminals leverage AI to learn and adapt in real-time, consumers must remain vigilant and take proactive measures, especially during the holidays which often brings an uptick in crimes, OCCIP said.
