The Internet has made the world smaller. In our routine usage we
tend to overlook that "www" really does mean "world wide web" making
virtually instant global communication possible. It has altered the
rules of marketing and retailing. An imaginative website can give the
small company as much impact and exposure as its much larger competitors.
In the electronics, books, travel and banking sectors long established
retail chains are increasingly under pressure from e-retailers. All this,
however, has come at a price – ever more inventive and potentially
damaging cyber crime. This paper aims to raise awareness by discussing
common vulnerabilities and mistakes in web application development. It
also considers mitigating factors, strategies and corrective measures. |
