font-family: Times New Roman;">Many websites that sell products via the web have taken measures to ensure that a potential customer&rsquo;s information is kept private.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Sometimes, however, this is not enough.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>EBay, for example, uses an intermediate system to complete transactions if buyers choose to utilize it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Paypal is a trusted site that completes merchant transactions using bank accounts and credit cards. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>Many times people have gotten emails asking them to provide user name and password information.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>These emails are, in fact, sent by hackers themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>There must be more than a simple warning done on behalf of Paypal to stop this crisis.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp; </span>Paypal is just one example, there are many more.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> http://www.digitalparlor.org/fa08/kerns1/node/273#comments Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:00:59 +0000 cschwein 273 at http://www.digitalparlor.org/fa08/kerns1 Instant Objective Statement - Chad http://www.digitalparlor.org/fa08/kerns1/node/219 <p>&nbsp;<span style="font-weight: bold;
