reputation, and erosion of consumer
confidence in e-commerce and online

threats that you should be aware of:

Phishing happens when an email is sent


from an internet criminal disguised as an
email from a legitimate, trustworthy
source. The message is meant to lure you
into revealing sensitive or confidential
information.

directs an internet user to a fake website instead of
a legitimate one. These “spoofed” sites can capture
a victim’s confidential information, including
usernames, passwords, and credit card data, or
install malware on their computer. Pharmers usually
focus on websites in the financial sector, including
banks, online payment platforms, or other e-
commerce destinations.

computer programs and infecting them
with its own bits of code.
TROJAN HORSE

dangerous malware types. It usually represents itself
as something useful in order to trick you. Once it is
on your system, the attackers behind the Trojan gain
unauthorized access to the affected computer. From

information or install threats like viruses and
ransomware.

malware that locks you out of your
device and/or encrypts your files,

American sociologists Paul Horton and Chester Hunt
(1964) defined institution as an organized system of social
system of social relationships that represent a society’s
common values and procedures. This is a stable, valued,
recurring pattern that guides the behavior of people in
society. Once the elements of culture become so integrated
that activities are already formalized on a unit basis,
institutions surface in society.
