Abstract

In the past decade, there has been a rapid increase in Electronic commerce (e-commerce) activity via web applications. With this increase, there is a need for building a good quality application. One of the major factors to achieve quality is the application’s security. This paper discusses about how alarming the threats posed to the e-commerce applications are, how can one counteract against the threats, what are the mistakes made by the current e-commerce applications which enabled them to get affected by the security attacks, how they recovered from the incidents, takes the opinions from the consumers with the help of a survey, proposes a methodology to be followed while developing an e-commerce web application to make the application aware about the threats and take countermeasures accordingly.
