The National Cyber Security Directorate warns about increased online fraud risks during Black Friday 2026. Cybercriminals may create fake online stores, send misleading courier messages, and attempt refund scams. Consumers are advised to verify offers, website addresses, and payment requests carefully. Fraud attempts can occur at any stage of an online order, and users should be cautious of messages claiming delivery issues or refunds. The presence of HTTPS does not guarantee a site's legitimacy, and users should independently verify the source of any communication. The use of artificial intelligence by fraudsters makes scams more convincing, requiring heightened vigilance from consumers.
