Malaysia's eCommerce industry is constantly growing, fueled by COVID-19-related online services and the country's increasing smartphone usage Data.The World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak to be a global pandemic.On March 11, 2020, various countries responded quickly with tight social confinement enforcement (commonly referred to as "lockdowns") as an effective approach to regulate human interaction and viral transmission. With stay-at-home restrictions, travel bans, and social isolation, many people are joining the growing trend of internet purchase. Changes in customer behavior and government reactions have had an impact on the biological systems and economy of the cyber world. This study is expected to provide insights into the factors that impact cybercrime victims in Malaysian e-business. Similarly, prior research on fraud have primarily focused on traditional and offline fraud, with little data in the online or fraud victims arena. As a result, this study contributes fresh theoretical connections and empirical evidence on the interplay between fraud victimization, suitability and lack of a guardian. This study looks at the variables that affect Malaysian e-commerce fraud victimization, and it is anticipated that the study's population includes all of Malaysia in terms of cyberfraud. Individuals connected to cyber fraud will be the unit of analysis in this cross-sectional study, which uses a survey methodology. The PDRM database will be used to choose the study's respondents. A series of questionnaires will be used as the research instrument in this study to gather data, and respondents will get a set of questionnaires to complete.
