There are more than 5 billion online shopping portals and this count is elevating every day. By implications, e-Commerce has certainly changed the face of business and made shopping a relaxed and fun-filled experience, writes Kanu Iroegbu, Certified Digital Marketing Consultant with Netmedia Reach.

However, to attract and retain visitor’s attention, Iroegbu advised that one of the most important ingredients for a ecommerce site is its design.

“The website design should be adorable and at the same time, understandable. A stunning website exerts a pull on the visitors at their first sight. The website design is an important aspect for intensifying the traffic to the site. If the website has all the essential elements that are requisite, then the time a visitor stays on the website also increases.

To make this task simple, he continued, the site owners can choose the right company, which offers a website that abides the following core features.

“Keep the customers in mind while designing an ecommerce website. To out-stand other ecommerce sites and to shine differently, unique design is important.

“The website design should be user-friendly. Visitors of the site should be able to navigate easily through the website. Lots of graphics on a site, make it look jazzy and unfathomable. Reducing the graphics in a website would make it visually asthetic.

“The logo in your website should be clear and correctly placed; the content of the ecommerce site should be crisp and neat. The quality of the content is an important aspect for an ecommerce website,” he said.

He added that usage of funky language should be avoided. The content should be framed, in such a way that it is coherent to all users.

“Do not put lots of content on the website. This becomes confusing for the visitors of the site. Rather than writing paragraphs about the purpose, usage of bullet points would be apt and would catch a good real time of the visitor.

“Updating the shopping site often is extremely important as people feel bored to see the same thing for a long term.

“Usage of different themes would help to do the same. The most salient information, that you are trying to convey, should be at the top of the page.

“The main purpose of the online commerce site is to enhance business. For this, people should be able to place their order on the products easily. Hence, the design for the same should be as simple as possible.

“The loading of the website should be extremely quick. Else, the visitors of the site would get frustrated,” Iroegbu said.

E-commerce Website Development are certainly a great way of trading online that provides security and convenience to the customers to trade from the convenience of their home as well as result in greater profits for the website.

“There are plenty of services available on the internet that can also help to create the right Ecommerce website according to the specific need of the company for their business,” he added.

Microsoft Servers Hacked by Chinese Groups

Chinese “threat actors” have hacked Microsoft’s SharePoint document software servers and targeted the data of the businesses using it, the firm has said.

Microsoft Servers Hacked by Chinese Groups

 

China state-backed Linen Typhoon and Violet Typhoon as well as China-based Storm-2603 were said to have “exploited vulnerabilities” in on-premises SharePoint servers, the kind used by firms, but not in its cloud-based service.

The US tech giant has released security updates in response and has advised all on-premises SharePoint server customers to install them.

“Investigations into other actors also using these exploits are still ongoing,” Microsoft said in a statement.

The firm said it had “high confidence” the hackers would continue to target systems which have not installed its security updates.

It added that it would update its website blog with more information as its investigation continues.

Microsoft said it had observed attacks in which hackers had sent a request to a SharePoint server “enabling the theft of the key material by threat actors”.

Charles Carmakal, chief technology officer at Mandiant Consulting firm, a division of Google Cloud, told reporter, it was “aware of several victims in several different sectors across a number of global geographies”.

Carmakal said it appeared that governments and businesses that use SharePoint on their sites were the primary target.

A number of adversaries who stole material encoded by cryptography were then able to regain ongoing access to the victims’ SharePoint data, he said.

“This was exploited in a very broad way, very opportunistically before a patch was made available. That’s why this is significant,” Carmakal said.

Carmakal said the “China-nexus actor” was deploying techniques similar to previous campaigns associated with Beijing.

Microsoft said Linen Typhoon had “focused on stealing intellectual property, primarily targeting organizations related to government, defence, strategic planning, and human rights” for 13 years.

It added that Violet Typhoon had been “dedicated to espionage”, primarily targeting former government and military staff, non-governmental organizations, think tanks, higher education, the media, the financial sector and the health sector in the US, Europe, and East Asia.

Meanwhile, Storm-2603 was “assessed with medium confidence to be a China-based threat actor”.
