Unsecured e-commerce websites

When you log on to an unsecured e-commerce website and carry out a transaction, a hacker can easily steal your credit card details and use it at your expense.

Do the right thing: 

• Check that the website displays the MasterCard or VISA logos
• Activate 3D Secure security for your credit cards: a one-time code (sent via SMS or Token) will be used to authorise your purchase
• Check that the e-commerce website address starts with ‘https'
• Never disclose the confidential four-digit secret code of your credit card
• Keep proof of payment in the event of a dispute or claim
