But be certain to do this as soon as possible if you decide that you want a chargeback. The longer you leave it, the less chance there is for you to limit your liability to your credit card provider. When your card information is in transit it may pass through several computers. While it is technically feasible to intercept your card details at this point in time, it is unlikely. Your information is considered safer when your order form is processed to a secure server.

In a nutshell, intercepting useful credit card information over the Net is not easy to do. It is far easier for people to steal credit card numbers by other means, for example, shop assistants or waiters, who can copy the details and use them dishonestly. While hackers have been known to penetrate servers, expense and time act as significant deterrents. A number of investigations into Internet fraud have revealed that the much more plausible and common threat to your credit card is its theft by the seller's own staff. Some companies limit staff access to this confidential information to their senior managers, while others are more lax.
