As advanced in a previous article, you must be very careful
when using online shopping services
to protect yourself from cyber attackers. Find more ways to do so below.
Protect your computer
Very often, swindlers might ‘inject’ something into your computer to try to obtain any personal information. As such, you must protect your device against malware by regularly updating your antivirus program. The most secure option would be to pay for a full-blown security suite which will offer antivirus software and will also fight spam, spear-phishing emails, and phishing attacks from websites.

Use your phone instead of cards
Paying using smartphones in retail stores is pretty common nowadays and it is even safer than using credit cards. That applies to online shopping as well. Mobile wallets are equipped with the latest security features such as one-time-use authentication codes. Additionally, these systems are simpler. You just need your fingerprint or face to validate a settlement at times.

Check your statements regularly
If you shop online often, do not wait to receive your bill at the end of the month to have a look at your transactions. You can do so on a regular basis thanks to the Web. Access electronic statements for your credit card, debit card, and checking accounts and check for fraudulent charges even from popular sites such as PayPal or Venmo.
