I don’t know about anyone else, but virtually every time that I enter my card details onto a new site to buy something, you get the feeling that this could be the time, when you are wiped out and yet this is just something that you have to do, otherwise we all end up being scared of the internet.
Luckily, there is something that can be done about it and by all accounts, it is a totally secure way of buying online. It is the online purchase security system and is available from Hammacher Schlemmer.
Features:
The included software works with your browser such that when you go to a website and are ready to purchase an item or service, a swipe of your card through the device encrypts your credit card data before it reaches your computer
The software then inserts the encrypted number into the credit card field on the website you are visiting
The software never stores your credit card number on your computer
Works with Windows XP & Vista and Internet Explorer 6 or higher (Firefox support is forthcoming)
Size 3″ L x 2″ W x 1 1/2″ H
Weight 6 oz
Priced at $89.95
