Websites that ask for personal information usually incorporate security measures, that a user can see. For example - Casual visitors to a banking website would see the address starting HTTP. However, a registered customer would see the site starting with HTTPS. the 's' addition indicates the connection is secure - and only you and the bank computer are using that connection. There are also other protocols in place that prevents a hacker getting your card number. The majority of fraud cases arise because a customer has been careless in revealing the card number or security passwords to someone else !

You should never use an internet cafe computer to do personal banking - as you can never be sure the owner of the computer isn't using some form of key-logging software.

When is it not a good idea to give out your credit card number?

When someone phones you, or emails you, claiming to be from some particular business, you do not know for certain who they are; anyone can claim anything over the phone, or over the internet. If you have phoned or emailed a business yourself, then you know who they are. Never give your credit card number to anyone if you are not certain who they are.
