Well they started to implement a 12-point security plan to protect credit card deals that are made online every day and thus are exposed to fraud threat. Thanks to the stringent network security rules, millions of companies possessing your personal information and information about your low rate, no annual fee credit card, can provide better protection for online and off-line credit payment transactions.
The new security rules are known as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and all merchants handling your credit card information are required to comply with them. The main objective of the new credit security standards is to protect customers' ID and credit card information while making an online credit card deal or online credit card payment.
The matter is that when filling out online credit card application or paying with your credit card over the internet, your personal and credit card data are exposed to breaches and their misuse by hackers tarnishes your credit reputation and ruins credit card industry on the whole. |

I buy alot of stuff off the internet..mostly from reputable sellers and have had no problems, but I don't store those #'s on my computer and neither do the retailers e-mail the whole # in their confirmtions. |

It's no different then having the sales clerk in the store use your credit card number from the register reciept after you leave (worked in retail in the early 90's and saw this happen multiple times). I've shopped online for years with no problem. I also keep a close watch on all my accounts to make sure nothing fishy happens. |

Yes, hundreds of millions of people do it. Just make sure the vendor is established. If they take MasterCard or Visa, you should be o.k. You don't have pay for any fraudulent charges, you just report them to the credit card company. |

actually it is very safe. I do it all the time. Nowadays, I buy most of my stuff on the web because sometimes it is even cheaper and there is a wide variety of good to choose from w/o even leaving your home. Just make sure that the site is protected. There are usually some labels below that will say that it is protected. Paypal is good and I never had any problems using it. |

It's actually very safe if your shopping on respectable websites. If your in another country though, be careful. Some things are allowed and some things aren't. I would check with your local post office and there are some countries where things are stolen and they never make it to your hands. Generally people who live in those countries, know this though. Have fun! |

No, it's not completely 100% safe, but that's never stopped me and I never had a problem because of it. |
