When the coronavirus pandemic began earlier this year, people quickly turned to online shopping once retail stores began to close and lockdown measures were enacted. In fact, the surge in online orders was so great that Amazon back in April was forced to hire 75,000 additional workers to meet an unexpected increase in demand.
With the Christmas holiday just a few days away, retailers over the past few weeks have noticed an even more pronounced spike in online sales. According to data from Adobe Analytics, online sales in November and December will likely be 33% higher than what retailers saw during the same timeframe last year.

In light of the above, and with an unprecedented amount of packages in transit these days, scammers and hackers are relying on a tried and true technique to install malware or steal credit card information from unsuspecting users.
According to CNBC, hackers and scammers have been sending a huge number of fake notifications, messages, and emails that ostensibly look like they come from delivery companies like Amazon, FedEx, and UPS.
In one particular scam, users receive a spoofed email message from UPS which claims that a product they ordered online was unable to be delivered. The message prompts them to click on a link so that they can re-enter pertinent delivery information. The link in this case, however, installs ransomware on a target’s computer and encrypts their files. The only way to access said files is to send a payment with Bitcoin.
Not surprisingly, Amazon — by virtue of its size and popularity — is the company scammers tend to spoof the most often. If you receive a message from Amazon that seems off, you can report it to the company over here.
The CNBC report adds:
The phishing messages also commonly impersonate UPS, FedEx and DHL, which all have their own dedicated reporting emails. The companies that make our devices are also on guard. Microsoft, for example, has a Digital Crimes Unit that works with law enforcement and claims to have “rescued” more than 500 million devices from cyber criminals since 2010. Apple, meanwhile, offers public recognition and even bounties of up to a million dollars to users who report security issues.
Some big warning signs to watch out for include slight misspellings or incorrect logos, unencrypted landing sites, and messages with a countdown urging consumers to act quickly.
You’ll also want to be wary of any message that demands you enter sensitive financial information. And speaking to the prevalence of these types of scams, some security experts have observed that phishing scams are up more than 100% this year compared to last.
Fake messages that purport to be from companies like FedEx and Amazon are of course nothing new, but with scammers and hackers doubling down on their efforts to trick users, it’s important to remain even more vigilant in the midst of the holiday shopping season.
Phishing refers to fraudulent attempts to get personal information from you. Scammers use any means they can—spoofed emails and texts, misleading pop-up ads, fake downloads, calendar spam, even phony phone calls—to trick you into sharing information, such as your Apple ID password or credit card numbers.
If you receive a suspicious email that looks like it's supposed to be from Apple, please forward it to reportphishing@apple.com.
On your Mac, include more details by selecting the email and choosing 'Forward as Attachment' from the Message menu.
While browsing the web, if you see a message that your iPhone, Mac, or other Apple device has a virus, or someone claiming to be from Apple calls and asks for your account name and password, you’re likely the target of a scam. Here are some things you can do to avoid them.
If you believe that your Apple ID has been compromised, or if you might have entered your password or other personal info on a scam website, change your Apple ID password immediately.
Scammers try to copy email and text messages from legitimate companies to trick you into giving them your personal information and passwords. These signs can help you identify scams:
Please report suspicious emails and messages:
While browsing the web, if you see a pop-up or alert that offers you a free prize or warns you about a problem with your device, don't believe it. These types of pop-ups are usually fraudulent advertisements, designed to trick you into giving the scammer personal information or money.
Don't call the number or follow the links to claim the prize or fix the problem. Ignore the message and simply navigate away from the page or close the entire window or tab.
Use extreme caution if you download content from the internet. Some downloads found on the internet may not contain the software they claim to, or may contain software that you didn't expect or want. This includes apps that ask to install configuration profiles that can then control your device. If installed, unknown or unwanted software may become intrusive and annoying and could even damage your Mac and steal your data.
To avoid unwanted, fake, or malicious software, install software from the App Store or get it directly from the developer's website. Learn how to safely open software on your Mac or remove unwanted configuration profiles from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Scammers may spoof legitimate company phone numbers and use flattery and threats to pressure you into giving them information, money, and even iTunes gift cards. If you get an unsolicited or suspicious phone call from someone claiming to be from Apple, just hang up.
You can report fraudulent tech support calls to the Federal Trade Commission (U.S. only) at reportfraud.ftc.gov or to your local law enforcement agency.
If you get an unwanted or suspicious calendar invitation in Mail or Calendar, you can report it as Junk in iCloud.
To delete an invitation that you already accepted, tap the event, then tap Decline or Delete Event. If you unintentionally subscribed to a calendar you didn't want, open the Calendar app, tap Calendars and look for an unknown or suspicious calendar. Tap the calendar, then scroll down and tap Delete Calendar.
