McAfee has produced a useful list of The 12 Scams of Christmas, starting with Charity Phishing Scams and ending with Laptop Theft. It includes Dangerous Holiday-related Search Terms, and provides a list. Santa screensavers, Santa ringtones and Santa wallpapers can be packaged with adware, spyware or worse, and McAfee suggests you use its own Site Advisor to see if sites are safe.
Holiday-themed Email Attachments and Spam can also be dangerous, so try not to click links in email.
Everybody wants something from you at Christmas. Bear in mind that some people will resort to unethical or downright illegal ways to get it.
