The threat of online security: How safe is our data?
In future Malaysia, e-commerce might be an usual transaction and most people trade online. However, it is hard to realize if the online security is not stringent enough. It is because one of the factors that influence consumer behaviour is perceived security and privacy. That is why until today e-commerce is not so popular in Malaysia even though it brings many advantages to the users.
I always read the news of whose credit card details were being leaked or stolen and suffered losses and inconvenience. When I purchased airline ticket through internet, somehow I have faith in the website's security level (maybe it is because the airline company is operating through internet and no security problem since incorporated). And, it proves that I was right because til today I have no subsequent problem.
Despite the websites have taken security procedures, there is certain level of risk we expose to. So, how can we protect ourselves when we engage in e-commerce activities? Be alert, resist temptation, don't simply believe in those generous offers, install antivirus,antispyware softwares...are not enough. We need to always update ourselves, knowing what is hot..(about what threats users are facing currently)
