Question

Think about how you would feel if there were no rules regarding how your credit card information was stored on merchants’ Web sites. Would you purchase items from the Web? Would the Internet be as big as it is today if we had no laws or information security policies regarding data that makes up an e-commerce transaction?

Answer 1
