Or perhaps the best gift of all is cybersecurity awareness - NIST Cyber Framework. And, say you're shopping online, keep in mind:
• HTTPS (and lock icon) on your browser at ALL times when sending personal/credit card data, login and checkout
• Strong passwords when creating accounts
• Know the seller/website by doing some research - use multiple browsers to compare website, stay clear of advertisements
• Use PayPal if you can; but certainly say no to debit cards
• Use a trusted PC (anti-virus, anti-malware, etc.)
• Don’t use public Wi-Fi networks - your probably being monitored
• Validate charges on your card / statements
Remember, applies to nearly everything, but if it seems too good to be true, it is
