Information Security Issues in E-Commerce
David J. Olkowski, Sans Giac · 2003
this paper I have tried to expose the warning signs for these ecommerce entities from being a few nodes away from the professional or amateur intruder. Just as there are legitimate opportunists who play fair, there are opportunists in the criminal element hoping to seek small fortune or destroy someone else's dream. The scary part is that at the speed of light an e-commerce star can go from the accolades on the cover of the financial press to an irrecoverable death spiral. My hope is that a greater awareness of this problem will further the security culture necessary in the innovative ideas that are being brought to market now and in the future on the great information superhighway
