This assignment provides you with an opportunity to read an article about a current security threat (or attack) while also examining how security measures impact the customer experience. Within the online library, locate an article that describes a recent security threat (or attack) on an e-commerce site. Choose a threat or attack that occurred within the last 10 years. Read the article, and then draft a two-page paper to address each of the following:
- Briefly describe the threat (or attack).
- Briefly describe the type of e-commerce.
- Could the threat have been prevented by utilizing the steps of the security life cycle model? Why, or why not? Does the e-commerce sacrifice any form of customer service by implementing security measures? Explain.
- Visit the e-commerce site for a brief moment. As a consumer, did you feel that your information and/or any exchange of funds would be secure? Explain your initial impression.
