Fraud in the E-Commerce Space
E-Commerce fraud is an escalating risk for online sellers. As online sales have increased, unfortunately, so have opportunities for people to take advantage of vulnerable businesses in the e-commerce space.
In order to ensure their businesses are fully secure online, many businesses are utilising specialised customisation services so that they can make the most of the available online security software, regardless of which e-commerce platform they use.
With a large amount of credit card information stored and transferred online, it has become easier for hackers to steal customers and merchants account information. There have been notable instances of mutations of old types of fraud including account takeover attacks, chargebacks and transaction fraud.
In light of this, it is essential for online businesses to protect their stores and their interests by taking the appropriate precautions.
