Credit card numbers: What everyone wants.
Sending information over an Internet connection is like sending an e-mail. That means that unless the connection is secure, data - such as credit card numbers - can be intercepted by third parties and used improperly. Before buying on-line, maker sure that the vendor's site is using a secure, encrypted connection. That will provide the necessary protection. You should look for the URL "https", indicating that there is a secure socket layer connection between your computer and the Web site.
