My freind Rajesh went went to a cyber cafe nearby his house to book air tickets as internet in his house was not working. Naresh booked air tickets through on line booking by giving card no etc. Subsequently after half an hour again he went to the same cyber cafe to check his brothers exam results. After seeing the results, he again went to the site which he previsouly used for booking his tickets. Surprisingly, he could see that his card no. was available in the computer. This raises the question, how much it safe to your credit / debit cards for payments made through net. are u reluctant to use your card for internet payments?

I definately would not use it at an internet cafe or any computer with public access. Also would not give any of my personal details to a site that wasn't encrypted because you never know who can access the information. I have purchased things on-line without problems but have always ensured the site was secure first.
