Online has gained a lot of ground as the method of purchase for U.S. consumers this holiday season with just slightly fewer percentage points than brick-and-mortar. Of those surveyed, 66% of U.S. consumers intend to buy holiday gifts in-store, while 64% plan to use a desktop or laptop, and one-third say they will use a mobile device. In fact, 28% of 18- to 34-year-olds shop regularly on unsecured networks, putting their financial and personal information at even greater risk, according to the survey, which was conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of the University of Phoenix.
