    Online Retail Security

    I read up on how to protect your transactional data on the web and realized that the moment you make a purchase online, the security of that information is out of your hands. In the online retail sector, how do I know a retailer is taking enough steps to keep my information secure?

    I am sorry to have to tell you Sara: "you don't"

    For example does "TK MAX" mean anything to you?

    So, what do you do? well, I buy stuff online (NOT e-bay, that is for lusers as far as I am concerned) and use a particular credit card that I have set up for just that purpose............... minimum credit line

    And if anyone tells you different they are liars, so don't vote for them in the next presidential elections either.



    EDIT: On the other hand, passing a CC over the counter in a store is possibly just as risky?

    Not a new problem:
