eCommerce
Businesses within retail, travel, services, social networking/blogs, search, navigation, gambling and telecommunications have long known about online fraud threats. A large part of the threats occur prior the user login and fraud attacks occurs many other places beyond the purchase transaction. To understand the traffic on the website it is necessary to view all traffic happening on the web page.
To protect your website you need more than tools looking at the login and the transaction point.
E-commerce websites see threats such as criminals using stolen accounts to purchase goods that are sent to a third party or diverted on route to the victim. Other forms of attacks are scraping of personal information about customers, this way bad actors can use the information to perpetrate identity theft based on the scraped information. This leads to lack of customers trust.
Various other types of attacks spans from guessing gift card codes, vertical and horizontal password guessing, validating credentials, algorithmic password guessing, incentive program gaming, scraping proprietary information to gaming of polls and “top” lists. The number of attacks and the sophistication of the attacks are fast increasing and constantly morphing.
