Britain’s national cyber security watchdog has warned online shoppers to be wary of being defrauded by cyber hackers over the upcoming festive season.

Launching its Cyber Aware campaign on Friday, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) warned that because people will be shopping more online this Christmas due to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, there'll be more opportunities for cyber fraud to be committed.
