  abstract = {During the last 20 years, the Information Technology sector has experienced the most incredible evolution, impacting our daily activities, but now, more than ever, people are aware of the place occupied by technology in their lives, since Covid-19 forced us to move our main activities online. Basic activities, such as jobs, schools, shopping, social interactions and even the health system, were shifted to electronic work starting with March 2020 and even after one and a half year this trend is maintained. A full recovery of the normal day-to-day life is not possible now, so people adapted to the new normality. Commercial activities started to move online before the lockdown, but obtained a stronger visibility after Covid-19 outbreak. The aim of this paper is to present electronic commerce together with its benefits and drawbacks, analyzing current development directions. In this regard, we need to consider one of its branches, m-commerce, as being able to overcome the classic e-commerce, using mobile devices. At the same time, we need to discuss security issues that might affect not only the business, but also the general consumer and that alerts international data protection organizations.},
