Re: UKNM: Credit card fraud

>(iii) Most reported cases of CC fraud online (excepting stolen/false

>details)


isn't that illegal anyway? If you're registered under the Data Protection

Act, & you do store the full details, it has to be done on a standalone box?

Anyway - the Ministry shop has been ticking along happily for 6 months

without a hitch or fake CC.


>SET (secure Electronic Transactions) Protocol (if it ever happens


I heard it's already being used (successfully in tests) in Sweden....


& last note - I personally totally agree with the reverse psychology point -

if you make *too* much of a fuss about how secure it all is, the less likely

a user will buy, I'm sure.
