As cybersecurity expert Tom Keenan from the University of Calgary explained to CTV News: “Bad guys are scooping up a bunch of gift cards, taking them somewhere and putting labels over the barcode.

What is fractional investing and why should you care? Fractional investing lets you buy a portion of a stock, not the whole thing. Think of it like buying a single slice of pizza instead of the entire pie. If one share of Apple, for instance, costs $250, you can invest $10 and get 1/25 of a share. This allows you to still get a piece of a publicly traded company. This is a significant development because it drastically lowers the barrier to entry for new investors.
