Client side

This question is not really answerable in any meaningful way. Most of the security issues exist are also relevant to e-commerce. If you reword this question to address the specific issue you are currently having I can reopen it and you may get useful answers. – Rory Alsop♦ May 1 '12 at 17:56
If data is actually being intercepted then you are sending the data in the incorrect way. You should be encrypting the data so only the sender and the reciever can decrypt it. – Ramhound May 2 '12 at 13:09

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, see the FAQ.

A few things I would add

  • Physical Security (where is your box stored, who has access to it, what is the networking like)

  • Remote File Inclusion attacks

  • Local File Inclusion attacks

  • DDos Attacks (cause loss of uptime, cost you money by revenue loss and potential bandwidth overage charges)
  • Vulnerable code - bugs (accidental) or backdoor's(malicious) programmed in
