dreamscape Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 if someone is able to gain access like that to your database, then I'm afriad you have bigger problems than just CC#'s being stolen.

Guest Posted December 31, 2002 Share Posted December 31, 2002 in order to have the cc# split you need to specify the email address to have the middle part of the cc# to be sent to in the cc payment module in admin. It is advisable to have some sort of encryption on your email with the cc# in it. cheers barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Are you serious! Does the CC information get stored in my database! :? :? If so... How do I stop this from happening and what will be the effects of it? Why does it need to be stored there? Cheers, Tony "The price of success is perseverance.

Guest Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 if you specify a split email address in the cc module then the cc number gets stored in the database with the middle 8 digits x'ed out 4000XXXXXXXX0002 the middle eight are not stored but sent to you via email when the order completes the checkout process. other info such as the expiry date are stored but without the cc number are pretty useless. For peice of mind as soon as you have collected the information from the email and the admin with regard to the cc details and have manually processed the payment i would delete the cc information from you database to keep in line with your privacy policy, thus minimising the effect of any unscrupulous individuals. cheers barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 3, 2003 Share Posted January 3, 2003 Im working on encryption of the CC numbers for the CVV for cc.php module at the moment. I plan to make the module either encrypt the whole number or encrypt the part of the number that is stored in the database. Of course storing you CC in a database is asking for trouble, but heaps do it...and even some of the big guys...(paysystems, amazon and others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
