Could You Be A Victim Of Online Merchant Fraud?
Business use of the Internet has soared profitably in recent years, but those who would exploit corporate electronic systems via the web haven’t been far behind. In the United States, for example, security breaches of e-commerce websites have jumped more than tenfold in the past five years, leaving a trail of viruses and compromised customer information.
Fortunately, there’s much you can do to avoid these problems, according to Bryan Sartin, director of technology for the U.S. arm of Belgian-owned Ubizen, an online systems security consulting firm. His goal, more of a crusade really, is to make sure that businesses understand how their online systems are vulnerable, the signs of trouble they should be looking for, and what to do when they sense a security breach is taking place.
