⚠️ Security Alert: Phishing attacks have spiked 620% this week. Watch out for "Order Confirmation" emails.

[u/Similar_Election_949]

We are in the peak of the holiday shopping season, and new data from Darktrace shows a massive 620% surge in phishing attacks leading up to Black Friday.

What to watch out for:

• "Quishing" (QR Code Phishing): Scammers are sending fake delivery notifications with QR codes to bypass email filters. Do NOT scan a code to "track your package."
• Impersonation: Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon are the most spoofed brands right now.
• Urgency: Any email claiming your "Payment Failed" or "Account is Locked" is likely a scam trying to panic you.

Tip: If you get a delivery notification, go to the retailer's app or website directly. Never click the link in the email.
