How can you tell if your credit card information is safe online, or which sites are secred sites?
Many people shop on line, especially during the holiday season. But private information can be stole, and anyone could be a victim if you are not educated in the steps that are needed to protect yourself.
After researching tips to protect yourself, I came across a site, http://soc.hfac.uh.edu/artman/publish/article_273.shtml
Humans civil rights.
One point that grabbed my attention that I had never really thought about was the password questions people use if they have forgotten their verification phrase. Many questions ask “what is your favorite pets name, or what street did you grow up on? With the new trend of blogging, many people provide this information online. If a person had enough time and energy to figure out someone’s code, they could.
One more key this website provided was, do not give out your private phone number. People can do a reverse lookup and this searches a public database and then your private phone number, name and address is provided. Then people could fide you and begin stealing your private information; credit card information.
Most known websites that allow people to shop on have protected sites. Just keep an eye on your past payments.
