UKNM: Credit card fraud

[Charles Linn]

Has anyone come across cases of credit card fraud in this country or abroad,

involving intercepted secure transactions where the encryption has been

subsequently cracked?  We would like to put a statement to the effect that this

is either very rare or non-existent, on our web site to allay people's fears as

we percieve a lingering and unreasonable distrust of e-commerce out there.  Our

IT manager sensibly advised that if people were interested in credit card

fraud, they would find it a damn site easier to get a job as a waiter, but I'm

not sure that our audience would find this altogether comforting.


Cheers


Chas
