Security risks
If the security of a website is not strong enough to prevent any harmful viruses and hackers, most importantly in website where buying and selling goods are done there are a lot of risks. There will be unauthorised access by hackers and viruses to the website that don’t have a strong protection. This would mean that any personal data such account details or telephone number etc. will get stolen.
Hacking is when someone tries to access your computer system or any other personal data to which they do not have any authorization. They do this to try to steal, alter or make your personal data useless to you, such as your telephone number, account details etc. If hackers or viruses enter your computer system they might get hold of your username and password of your account to access any data that you have stored under it. With this they can then control your computer which could lead to them deleting all your personal files etc. this is a Virus.

Security protection
From
the security risks there are ways to protect your computer:
Firewalls is a barrier
to your computer to keep it safe so that viruses and hackers do not gain access to it. The technique that the firewall uses in order
to make sure that any unauthorised programs are prevented from entering your
computer system is that it has a gateway that it uses to separate authorised
programs from unauthorised. Once it has separated them it then lets the
authorised programs through and stops unauthorised programs.Secure socket layer (SSL) This protocol provides security when there’s communications across computer networks. It does this by providing endpoint authentication, which means it makes sure that the person who you wish to talk to is exactly who they and they are not pretending to be that person. There are lots of different ways users can communicate over internet such as Facebook, Twitter etc
Have a strong password
if you have a strong password you are making it harder for hackers to figure out what your password is. A strong password may include letters and numbers, or capitals and lowercase, or symbols or should be over eight characters long.
