We know that this will be surprising to most readers but the truth is that online shopping is safer than the traditional offline shopping. According to Nicholas Weaver, a senior researcher at the International Computer Science Institute confirms this by stating that it’s easier to steal credit cards information swiped at the traditional stores than card information during online shopping. A cyber-security reporter; Brain Krebs; reports that malicious software known as “BlackPOS” was used in traditional stores in US – Home Depot and Target breaches to steal data.

In an Online store such as Malltimas, there are lots of security measures put in place to prevent data from been stolen by cyber-criminals. Malltimas.com is secured and to confirm it you will see https:// when opening the site. According to CNN Business and Kaspersky, it is recommended to use only secure sites.
