ESET Industry Report on Retail: Evolving threats to data and payments

In early spring 2020, buyers and sellers worldwide witnessed a decade of bullish retail growth collide with an unknown specter: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19.

By examining the linked online behaviors of customers, vendors, marketers, suppliers, and payment processors as a cross section of the retail industry, we can freshen our understanding of the threats in this new dynamic.
