10 Golden Rules For Safe Internet Shopping
#2 What is At Stake
You could be doing everything right. But, the vendor can go wrong sometimes. And when a hacker steals the consumer’s information from a company’s database, the ultimate price is paid by the consumer.

Updates will always reduce the likelihood of malicious code or key-logging software running on your PC without your knowledge, transmitting your details to fraudsters across the internet.
