This is a question which every person needs to know when doing money transactions on internet.Do you know how hackers can steal your money if you just sed your credit cards numbers to a website?
when you are on the Internet its like you are leaving open your house door and go out.When you type your credit card numbers, your computer send the numbers/data to the website in packets known as packet data transfer. Hackers use a device called packet sniffer which can see all data and track these numbers of your credit card.
after that you kow what they will do. They can either use these numbers and steal your money or even make a roduct delivery which you ordered to his house insteal going to you.

Yes, I know how those credit card thieves work, so I would like to add the information previously given by our friends.
Make sure you only use your credit card on trusted website. Never forget to logoff and clean your cookies after making a transaction. And, most importantly, never purchase online using public computer!

Use several creditcards.
I have one for my transactions online. Balance is 0 dollar. When i am going to buy something i transfer from my main account to my oneline transactions account. So even if they would get my creditcard, the balance would be 0.
All the sites i buy from have encryption and is wellknowned.
