There were not enough security in todays technology, the best security that we can enjoy is doing things the conventional ways, buy in real stores, talk to real people. Yes, technologies were made to make things easy for us, and for people who wants to steal from you also, because they will always find ways. There will always be risk.

first of all check the SSL certificate of the online shopping web site, it should be active.

second some banks offer a password trust, so in the payment process the website will redirect you to the bank website to provide a security password (defferent in what written in the credit card) to insure that you are the owner of the credit card.

third be sure that your computer free of spyware.

 

that's all and enjoy
