Securing Your E-commerce Store from Data Breaches

For an e-commerce business, data is the most valuable asset. Customer names, addresses, and payment information are prime targets for hackers. A single breach can lead to financial loss, legal issues, and a permanent stain on your brand's reputation.

Common E-commerce Security Threats

1. SQL Injection: Attackers can manipulate your database to steal customer information.
2. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Malicious scripts are injected into your website, potentially stealing session cookies.
3. Price Manipulation: Attackers might try to change the price of products in their cart before checkout.
4. Skimming: Injecting malicious code into checkout pages to capture credit card details.

How to Protect Your Store

• Use HTTPS: Ensure all traffic is encrypted.
• PCI-DSS Compliance: Follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard.
• Regular Security Audits: Don't rely on your platform's default security. Custom configurations often introduce vulnerabilities.
