Amid a series of data breaches caused by unauthorized access, companies are increasingly moving to shut down their e-commerce sites or adopt a policy of not retaining personal information. More cases are emerging in which companies seek to reduce the risk of data breaches in this way.
Against the backdrop of reports that companies are experiencing a series of data breaches caused by unauthorized access, some are moving to shut down their e-commerce sites. Reports say that this has led some companies to reconsider how they conduct online transactions.
An increasing number of companies are also adopting a policy of not retaining personal information in advance, with reports highlighting a shift toward operations that do not assume the retention of personal information.
As a measure against unauthorized access, some companies are said to be shutting down their sites or restricting their online availability as a preventive measure. The possibility that similar responses will become more widespread in the future has been noted.
