WATCH: How to protect yourself from scammers and hackers

Scammers and hackers are out in full force during the holiday season, trying to entice you with digital offers that are too good to be true and targeting your online shopping transactions.

These cybercriminals are more dangerous than ever because they are fuelled by artificial intelligence tools that make it difficult to distinguish them from real retailers.

So how can you protect yourself?

Join us tonight for the next Conversations Live event hosted by Stuart McNish on the topic of cybersecurity. Our expert panel will discuss personal security, how to protect your business and banking services, and what the government could be doing to make everyone safer.

You can watch the livestream here starting at 5 p.m. and submit your question to our panel below:
