In modern times, e-commerce fraud prevention is crucial to protect the stability of your business and the privacy of your customers. E-commerce sales are expected to reach 600 billion dollars in 2020. Before we talk about what you can do to exclude risk and protect your e-commerce store from fraud, it's helpful to discuss common strategies that fraudsters use.

There are many types of online fraud, but they can be segmented into the following two areas:

Personal information intrusion

Most e-commerce stores provide customers with accounts that store their personal information, financial data, and purchase history.

In one of the most common approaches, scammers send e-mails designed to trick customers into revealing their usernames and passwords. If fraudsters receive the requested information, they can then access your customers' accounts, change passwords, and make unauthorized purchases.

Hacking databases

Although most businesses take many precautions to secure customer data, scammers still manage to hack into databases and steal usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, and other personal information.

This type of e-commerce fraud is difficult to detect because many people don't check their credit card data appropriately. Victims are typically unaware that someone has opened an online account in their name.
