Seems there has been a recent rash of credit card theft. Maybe it's no more than normal for online buying in general or anywere else but some people feel it happened shortly after e-cig purchases from online suppliers.
There is a broad range of understanding on how these things work, how online stores work, and what if anything is and can be done to protect consumers billing information. Most of us are completely in the dark as to how online billing information can be compromised, what's available out there to prevent that, and what our suppliers are or are not using towards that end.
I thought this might be the right place to put up a thread so that suppliers, if they care too, can post up on what they do to keep our information safe.
Maybe one post or so per supplier? Maybe include an explanation of the mechanics involved, what's cost effective and what's not, and what you have or use to safeguard your customers.
