It's that time of year, November 20, generally known in the retail trade as "Black Friday" has come and gone. Hackers are now in full swing, tempting and attracting to us from our money and identity of an empty promise. Black Friday, known among retailers as the start of the holiday shopping season is also the beginning of the busiest period of the hacker. This year, the biggest concern among experts in web-malware technology.

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is followed in marketing lingo by Cyber ??Monday. Both are big days for retailers and online scammers. Consumers should be careful with offers of advertising e-mails unbelievably too good to be true.

Emails purporting to be from Ebay, Amazon or other e-tailors specialist hide the true address of the website are directed to visit via links. Another trick is to send (with explosives) emails to innocent Internet users, the advertising of a hot product for much less than normal retail. This year's hot products, in our opinion, be electronics such as Nintendo Wii and possibly Amazon's Kindle, which look set to be sold!

Reports indicate that this year fraud losses due to electronic commerce in 1500 exceed 3 billion brand. This is due mainly to an increase in online users and those looking for great deals on the web. It is also important to remember that websites in the top of Google, Yahoo or MSN can not be the safest domains. The tactics are widely used to obtain top search engines and web sites do not vet authenticity! Basically, the buyer beware. If no phone number or valid business address on the site, do not buy into it.
