Author(s): Dr. Rajkumar Nagarwal

Abstract:

As e-commerce continues to expand globally, it becomes an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals. This research explores the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats in the e-commerce sector, identifying key vulnerabilities such as phishing attacks, data breaches, ransomware, and payment fraud. The study examines how these threats compromise consumer trust, disrupt business operations, and lead to significant financial losses. Furthermore, it analyzes the challenges faced by online retailers in securing their digital infrastructure, including limited cybersecurity awareness, rapidly changing threat vectors, and inadequate regulatory compliance. In response, the research evaluates a range of current and emerging solutions, from end-to-end encryption and multi-factor authentication to AI-driven threat detection and robust cybersecurity frameworks. The paper concludes by offering strategic recommendations for e-commerce platforms to enhance their cybersecurity posture and foster a secure online shopping environment.
