Do You (Or Should You) Shop Online?
The following article was written and submitted by an associate of mine, Syd Tash. I value Syd’s expertise in computer security and wanted to post this article so that you might benefit from it as well.
I have personally bought probably around $30,000 worth of stuff online over the last few years (mostly, but not all internet marketing stuff) and fortunately, haven’t had any problems that couldn’t be taken care of fairly quickly and painlessly through either the vendors or the financial institutions I use.
But not everyone is so lucky, or knows what to look for that might alert them to a possible security risk. This article isn’t intended to scare you away from shopping online – it’s actually MUCH safer than handing your credit card to a waiter in a restaurant who then disappears with it for a few minutes.
But instead, merely to provide some tips that will help you recognize some probable areas where you could protect yourself better and reduce the chance of you being violated by an online thief. Enjoy, Russ.
