New insights reveal how scammers copy trusted brands during peak shopping season and what every shopper can do to stay one step ahead.Key FindingsTech tops the Cybergrinch list: Scammers are most frequently impersonating major tech brands, especially those tied to popular devices and gaming platforms, like Apple, Nintendo, Samsung, Disney, and Steam.

That risk is already visible: scam-related URLs climbed about 10% from early October to early November as criminals ramped up activity across major shopping categories ahead of Black Friday and the holiday rush.
