Security News > 2020 > December > Cyber Monday is Every Monday: Securing the ‘New Normal’

From eCommerce threats, to attacks at the smart edge, Fortinet researchers discuss the top evolving threats of 2020, heading into the new year.

Though eCommerce threats are usually only top-of-mind during the holiday shopping season, researchers have been on high alert when it comes to cybercriminal activity in the retail space during all of 2020, due to troves of new shoppers and stores going online.

Manky said, with stores shutting down over the past year, and people staying home due to being nervous about COVID-19 safety protocols, researchers have observed an unprecedented influx of traffic on eCommerce platforms.

"Every Monday this year in 2020 has been like a Cyber Monday for retailers," added Lakhani.

"They're all exceeding traffic much more than they expected attackers know there's an opportunity to attack these retailers because they rely so heavily on eCommerce."
