Abstract

With the introduction of Information and Communication Technologies ("ICTs"), and the emergence of borderless e-commerce, privacy protection has became significant as the technologies can be misused to breach the privacy of econsumers with ease and without cost. Thus this article presents an analytical research study on e-privacy and its breach, the legislative measures taken, the nature and scope of the protection and the adequacy of these measures in protecting e-privacy with special reference to the laws of Malaysia.
