Where the name came from
The term "Cyber Monday" was introduced in 2005 by Shop.org, part of the National Retail Federation. At the time, many people shopped online from faster work internet connections the Monday after Thanksgiving. The name stuck, and it has become one of the biggest online shopping days of the year.
Safe online shopping checklist
- Use a credit card or a trusted wallet instead of a debit card for better fraud protection.
- Type store addresses yourself rather than clicking links in texts or emails.
- Watch out for "delivery problem" texts. Package-scam messages spike after big sales days.
- Screenshot order confirmations and prices in case you need a price adjustment.
