The popularity of online shopping is increasing, and experts expect much of it will happen while the buyer is sitting at work, despite the risks that are associated with it. This is stated in the latest report of ISACA organization.

Most companies do not have an effective plan to prevent personal shopping on company time, or at least don't actively present such policies to employees. Online shopping, meanwhile, may create some problems for the company network, including the risk of spam, viruses, and phishing attacks.

Plus, another study of ISACA reported that half of the 3000 participants of the survey of IT specialists believe that their companies lose about $3000 per employee in terms of productivity because of online holiday shopping during work hours.
