This article by Brian Krebs describes how cybercrime perpetrators actually run their own Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales (for stolen credit card numbers!).
Underground cybercrime shops that sell credit and debit card accounts stolen from retailers are slashing prices and promoting their own Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales as fraudsters gear up for the busy holiday shopping season.
Wow!
The article also encourages consumers to use credit cards instead of debit cards and to watch out for phantom stores that “pop up” during the holiday season.
