How safe are....(pc/net related)
Those so called security measures employed by many a site?
I've been thinking of doing some transactions with credit cards or maybe even investing online(right now I only do money order with trusted sites), but I'm not entirely sure this stuff is safe with all the cr@p that's floating around. So how safe are they? Can I use a public terminal and log-on, make transactions without problems? Can I use a regular net-surfing pc? Or do I need some supah-firewall, highest security setting custom rigged pc? That is how bad are the spyware/pharming/etc problems? |
