Why Validation is Necessary?

Today, online commerce is worth an estimated billions of dollars and continues to grow at a substantial rate. Every time an e-commerce transaction is conducted on the Internet, personal confidential data like credit card numbers are exchanged among the shopper, the merchant and the appropriate parties involved in the transaction process like a payment processor. This information is susceptible to interception by unauthorized third parties and malicious attacks by computer hackers.
 
Internet shoppers will not and should not make purchases at websites that lack the level of security expected from e-commerce sites today.
