PayZa : E-Commerce Leads in More than Just Sales

E-Commerce Leads in More than Just Sales

February 27, 2013 By Payza Leave a Comment

The e-commerce industry has passed another milestone. E-commerce sites are now preferred over brick-and-mortar stores as the place for fraudsters to illegally acquire payment card information. It`s more important now than ever to protect yourself from scams and keep your personal information private, and Payza can help.
The latest annual Global Security Report from information security firm Trustwave shows that, for the first time, theft of payment card information is more prevalent online then at Point-of-Service (POS) terminals. What’s worse – the primary target is retail.
Most people who have their payment card information stolen do so while purchasing something. This is because many online shoppers still use their credit cards to make purchases, therefore giving their personal information to any and all online business that they shop from and making themselves vulnerable to fraudsters.

Protect your Customers from Scammers

It’s important for online retail outlets to do what they can to protect their customers, because people won’t shop from you if they don’t feel safe. At a time when cybercrime is on the rise, e-commerce businesses should be regularly evaluating and re-evaluating what they are doing to keep their customers secure.
“All developers, particularly in the e-commerce industry,” said Robert J. McCullen, chairman, CEO and president of Trustwave, in the report, “should implement a full lifecycle security plan that includes thoroughly educating themselves and their employees, equipping themselves with the best tools to protect themselves against attacks and making sure they are using the most reliable resources for zero day detection.”

Protect Yourself from Scammers
