Think about this statement here. Everyone is always afraid of using card #'s on the internet for fear of it being stolen.
When you go into a store, Guitar Center for example, you give the pimple-faced kid your card, or swipe it into a machine. It is now just as, if not more available for anyone to get a hold of. Remember the carbon copies of your card when they used the old-fashioned ones? Those are physical copies of your number just waiting to be thrown in a wastebasket and found by someone. It is much more difficult to break encryptions than to dig through the trash and most websites are very careful with keeping your info private. Much more so than the high school kid behind the counter.
