I conducted a comprehensive penetration test for a leading global e-commerce platform, focusing on identifying vulnerabilities that could compromise customer data and transactional integrity. Using tools like Burp Suite, N-map, and Metasploit, I discovered critical flaws in the authentication mechanisms, which could have allowed unauthorized access to user accounts.

A significant finding was an SQL injection vulnerability in the payment gateway, which I demonstrated could be exploited to extract sensitive information, including credit card details. I provided detailed remediation steps, including input validation and database encryption, which were swiftly implemented by the development team.

This project not only reinforced the platform's security posture but also improved customer trust, safeguarding millions of users worldwide from potential cyber threats.
