Shopping
Safety: About Our Security
We
receive many emails from users asking how secure it
is to send their credit card number through the
Internet. The fear exists that somehow their card
number might be stolen by hackers, and then used to
run up large bills.
The
reality of the situation is that it is extremely
unlikely your credit card number could be
intercepted when placing an order through this or
most other websites. Especially since we offer SSL
encryption ( Secure Sockets Layer), which encrypts
the data sent from your browser to our servers and
is practically impossible to decrypt by even the
cleverest hackers. It was documented that to break
a single 40-bit encrypted transmission (such as
this website uses), it was necessary to use 120
workstations and two parallel supercomputers at
three major research centers for 8 days. And that
was to read only one single
transmission.
Stolen
credit card numbers are most often obtained through
methods unrelated to the Internet, the most common
being stealing US mail from mailboxes or clerks in
stores collecting numbers from receipts.
And
once they have obtained these numbers, what then?
They need to find a way to use them, and this is
where Music by Mail makes great effort to insure
that your card number will not be used for a
fraudulent order online. We electronically verify
the order with the credit companies at the moment
the order is filled, returning an order confirmed
message only if the credit companies authorize it.
Our experienced staff then manually checks all
orders which still appear unusual, canceling any we
feel are not valid.
So we
feel that shopping online with us is perfectly
safe, just as safe as shopping in our physical
store. Give it a try!
