With the holiday season fast approaching, cybersecurity experts are warning online shoppers to be on the lookout for new malware targeting e-commerce websites. The malware, known as "formjacking," is designed to steal credit card information and other sensitive data from unsuspecting shoppers. Experts are advising consumers to take extra precautions when shopping online this holiday season.

Formjacking works by infecting e-commerce websites with malicious code that can capture information entered by shoppers, including credit card numbers, names, and addresses. Once the information is captured, it is sent to cybercriminals who can use it for fraudulent purposes. Experts warn that formjacking can be difficult to detect, as it often occurs in the background while users are shopping on legitimate websites.

To protect themselves from formjacking and other cyber threats, online shoppers are advised to only shop on reputable websites, use strong passwords, and enable two-factor authentication wherever possible. Additionally, users should keep their antivirus software up to date and regularly monitor their bank and credit card statements for any unauthorized activity. By taking these steps, online shoppers can help ensure a safe and secure holiday shopping season.
