Image
  In the bustling metropolis of Tokyo, where every transaction, whether for a cup of coffee or a luxury car, was conducted through digital means, there existed an unseen battle.

  It was a quiet morning in the bustling city, and Sarah, the owner of an online clothing store, was sitting at her desk, sipping coffee while checking her sales dashboard. Suddenly, her heart sank. Her payment gateway had flagged a suspicious transaction. The purchase was large, the credit card was from an unfamiliar location, and the shipping address seemed off.
