So anyway, a couple of years ago I bought a 1988 Trans Am, to keep the thing running (in aus) I've been buying a fair amount of car parts over the net from US companies. Most of the places I've bought from have come with some degree of recommendation about their service, for the most part this would mostly be about their ability to have things in stock, deliver on time and pack stuff well. Outside of car parts, I haven't bought much online, a laptop battery a year ago and protein concentrate more recently.
To cut a long story short, I'm getting a tyre replaced on saturday morning, go to pay for it and the card gets declined twice. I ring the bank, they tell me there's been attempted fraudulent transactions against my account so it's been locked down. Amounts of $2 then $3 were taken out, then an attempted transaction of $4000+ was blocked. Not that it would have gone through, I've wisely invested my ill-gotten gains in sportscars over the years (take that, credit crunch).
So anyway, right now I'm suspecting the protein concentrate website as possibly having shonky security. Opening their site though, it lists the page as having 'high grade encryption', 256 bit.
Is there much I can do on my end regarding security? I've got an enterprise copy of McAfee installed, which is rarely more then a week out of date. I suspect I'm fairly reliant on the security provided by a website however. I tried asking the fraud investigation lady from the bank, but she wasn't particularly helpful, giving the advice "the internet isn't safe you know".
Any advice on what I could do would be appreciated.
