With COVID-19 lockdown measures in place throughout the globe, online shopping has soared and along with it, credit card skimming. According to Malwarebytes data, web skimming increased by 26 percent in March over the previous month.
While this might not seem like a dramatic jump, digital credit card skimming was already on the rise prior to COVID-19, says Malwarebytes, and this trend will likely continue into the near future.
