This essay highlights a noteworthy issue of the computerized world. In this digitalized world, the propelled instruments of the data innovation, for example, programming, applications and projects has given a considerable measure of the office works and the common life of people; however, these advances can be utilized contrarily on the normal life of the people and works of the organizations. At present, the reality is incredibly indigent in the web innovation (Pollacket al. 2013). A wide way for the internet commercial over the web has opened for this fact. The advantages of online shopping using internet have made the way of life of public simpler. Besides the high level of innovation, an important threat of the online shopping is the internet account hacking. It has turned into a major issue and it has become popular for stealing information from database.
