ABSTRACT:: 
As the use of the Internet and other computer networks to transact 
business grows, there is an ever increasing need for those taking 
part in those transactions to understand the risks of doing so. While 
there are many web sites that have created valuable databases of 
specific vulnerabilities for certain types of hardware and software, 
there is a lack of focus on attempting to analyze the interaction of 
businesses, their systems, computer networks, and their customers and 
the risks that are created by either intended or unattended 
interactions. EcomRISK.org is a web site that presents a clear 
taxonomy to classify these risks and provides other features to aid 
in the general discussion of e-commerce risk. The site, and the 
taxonomy at the center of it, creates a database of these incidents 
so they can be clearly searched. This paper discusses the creation of 
EcomRISK.org, from vision to birth.
