The Emerging Dark Side Of E-commerce Frauds

How the dark web is mined and information is misused by some players in the e-commerce ecosystem for window dressing their performance.

Have you ever received an e-commerce item you did not order? Guess what, you're not alone. Many Indian online shoppers were perplexed and astounded when they received products from e-commerce sites that they had not ordered. They received cash-on-delivery orders at their doorsteps during the e-commerce blockbuster sale days over the last several weeks. Many people who were unaware of such orders either paid for them or returned them to the merchants. This is not a new problem, but rather an implicit market fraud perpetrated by logistical partners, startups, and cybercriminals.
