CYFIRMA Research: Rising Cybercrime During Black Friday & Cyber Monday- A 2025 Threat Intelligence Report
Black Friday & Cyber Monday Cyber Threats Are Already Here
As festive shopping surges, so does cybercrime. CYFIRMA’s latest analysis reveals a spike in fake websites, phishing campaigns, malicious ZIP downloads, UPI-based payment scams, and dark-web-powered phishing kits—all engineered to exploit the 2025 holiday rush.
Our researchers uncovered multiple spoofed retail domains, automated malware downloads, and dynamic UPI-ID switching techniques used by scammers to evade detection. With Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) now mainstream, launching a professional-looking scam takes little effort.
Key Threats This Season:
• Counterfeit shopping websites & mobile apps
• Phishing + smishing campaigns impersonating major retailers
• Malvertising & fake social media promotions
• Supply-chain exploitation & payment workflow manipulation
• Mobile commerce and digital-wallet abuse
• Advanced UPI-based scam infrastructure
• Fraudulent gift card schemes
Stay Protected: verify URLs, strengthen payment security, avoid unknown downloads, enable MFA, monitor transactions, and stay aware of evolving scam patterns.
