Question on Credit Card Data

Hi,

 

I am obviously very inexperienced with shopping carts so please parden what might be an obvious question - I took over an OScommerce account, basically for maintenance purposes and never realized until recently, that storing the cc#'s in plain text, was very much not what I should have been doing. The store is not a very busy one and I was able to set them up with a direct payment gateway about 3 weeks ago. I am just concerned about the time I had those card #'s out there - there were only about 17 of them and have no reason to believe there was any breach. I have since asked the customer to have someone else take on this account because this is just not my area of expertise obviously - should i be doing anything else?

 

Thank you so much.

Thanks, I should have mentioned - I did do that, before actually I got the payment gateway in. Do you know how would I know if I was compromised before that?

Hello Jennifer,

 

I'm sure you have done the right thing and when you have warned the customer, there is not more you can do. It's then their responsebility to be aware of any suspicion the transactions/draw from their card.

 

If you would like to know more about fraud and security when reciving online payments, please look at this post: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...=301702&hl=

Kind Regards,
