Warning over risk of cybercrime ahead of Ireland’s biggest online shopping day

Ahead of Ireland’s biggest day for online shopping, cybercrime experts are warning shoppers to stay vigilant during the sales.

With consumers here spending an estimated €39m during Cyber Monday last year, the day poses an increased threat to consumers of falling victim to cybercriminals and hackers, tech security groups are warning.

“As we take advantage of the sales, cybercriminals will be waiting to take advantage of our desire to spend,” said Dell EMC Ireland country manager, Gerry Murray.
