- Description
- Given the nature of the e-market, both regulatory and self-regulatory measures have been employed by Australia to protect e-consumers. However, the efficiency and effectiveness of the current framework of e-consumer protection have not been sufficiently evaluated. This chapter aims to (i) discuss the current approaches to protect e-consumers in terms of security in Australia. ; (ii) find out the level of awareness, the view and attitudes of e-consumers regarding online security and institutes involved in e-consumer protection. ; (iii) investigate how e-consumers protect themselves from online incidents. ; (v) discuss policy implications for protection of e-consumers in terms of security. Overall, this chapter provides a better insight of how e-consumers are protected regarding security in Australia. It will help relevant stakeholders in developing and fine tuning policies to ensure a secure e-market for all. Finally, it will elicit further research on how to better protect e-consumers in the e-market.
