I recently on-line booking a hotel
the hotel reply via email to me to confirm the reservation.
In the email, stated all my details eg name,handphone# , card number , expiry date ,
& most importantly the CVC number also revealed.
I had to call the bank to block my card , & pay to reissue a new card , & have to notify all the merchannts for my auto-pay.
I had lodged a complaints to this careless hotel but no response.
Can i know , is there any written rule that the merchant shall not disclose this confidential of the clients?

I always change my pin number once a year just to be safe. I have had one too many friends that have gotten their card used for transactions they did not approve of.

revealing your ATM pin number would be the stupidest thing you could ever do regarding taking care of your money, and this case the credit card.

At least one company is offering “single-use” online credit card numbers associated with a real credit card number. Sorry, I forgot which company.

Also run antivirus and reputable antispyware programs regularly, because if your credit card number gets logged by a rogue program, it doesn’t really matter that the online transaction is secure.

Good post.

This is a great post! Identity theft has become an epidemic and anything to educate the public about things like this is great.
Thanks

If I understand things correctly, the lock icon shows when you are ON a https (secure) page. The mechanism used to transmit your credit card number can still be insecure. For instance a form that sends your info to a script via http in the FORM ACTION attribute. If the form is not being SUBMITTED securely, it is irrelevant that the form page itself loaded via https. I’ve even seen forms that EMAIL the credit card number via a simple CGI script. That means that even if the form action IS https once it hits that email script you may be back to sending the credit card via plain text to the email recipient. I’ve seen this poor practice used even by “professional” site designers.
