Don’t Fall for It: Stay Scam-Smart This Season

(BPT) - As the air turns crisp and the holidays approach, scammers are gearing up for their busiest time of year. From fake shopping deals to AI-powered deception, fraudsters are finding new ways to take advantage of distracted consumers. According to new data from Mastercard and The Harris Poll, nearly eight in ten Americans (78%) say they're more concerned about cybersecurity risks than they were two years ago, and 72% admit it's harder to protect their digital lives than their physical homes.

This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, Mastercard shares tips to help you stay secure while you enjoy the season's simple pleasures.
