Holiday season is on. And Online users whether using Internet Banking or e-shopping or general net users, just a reminder even assuming most of you already know it.

Careful with mails, greetings or seasons blessing esp from unknown source (even if it refers Santa)
Be careful for any .exe file downloads

Someone may using keystoke logging software and catch you unaware.

I am sure that you will not be hacked and phished, but see whether following stuff helps you,

Scammers jingle all the way

E-mail scammers love the holidays

Holidays too risky for greetings

And wishing you Merry X-mas and Happy holidays
