When you receive an email from a “store” or “person” containing links, read it carefully. When you receive an email, check out the sender first. Make sure it’s a valid email address and not one very similar. Many emails look and feel just like an email from an actual store, but in reality, they contain links that give hackers access to your email information. Maybe the links send a virus to spread through your computer instead, either way, you clicked on the pesky link and now it's too late. What's worse, you don’t even know your email has been compromised. Be on the lookout for bad grammar, misspelled words, and incorrect spacing and capitalization.

Whether you prefer over the ear, in the ear, or even around the neck the Monkeys have gathered the best headphones for you. And hey, Christmas is around the corner... Maybe we just gave you a gift idea for the one person on your list you had no idea what to get.
