Common Mistakes Health Store Owners Make

1 Assuming health stores are too small to be targeted — attackers use automated tools that scan thousands of stores regardless of size
2 Relying solely on your payment processor's fraud detection — these tools catch only a fraction of threats and don't prevent non-payment attacks
3 Waiting until after an attack to implement security — proactive protection costs a fraction of recovery after a breach
4 Ignoring geographic traffic patterns — unusual international traffic is often the first indicator of an organized attack
5 Not monitoring for brand impersonation — clone sites and phishing attempts often go undetected for weeks without active monitoring
