relief...or disbelief...

How many of you use online shopping?
How many of you have typed in the 16 digits?

Have you ever been saved by the great convenience of credit cards?
Have you ever wished that you could use them limitlessly?
Have you thought it fancy to be able to flash your card in front of everyone?

My answers:
Yes, I have.
Yes, I have.
Yes, I have.






Yes, I've relied too much on internet security.






Im not saying that the internet security is all a fraud.
Im just saying its not 100% secure. Its not always safe.

But, hey!
What IS secure? NOTHING.

Everything is vulnerable.
Anything can be torn down into scraps.
Internet security is just one of the many.






But you get to realize how fragile it is,
when you, yourself, actually get into a mess.

Do you think your the only one looking at what you are looking at right now?
Do you think that nobody's looking when you type in your personal infos?






No, I dont mean over your shoulder.
I mean, online. On the web.

Wondering where all this is going, right?
Getting tired of my long-winded introduction, huh?
Fine, I'll get to the point.

Maybe you've noticed. Maybe you've an idea.






Yep.






Your right.






Some f**khead had my credit card number.
Some f**khead got my 16 digits from somewhere Ive absolutely no clue of, and spent some f**king 300,000 yen.

Cheers, mo**erf**ker.






I dont remember using j**k-sh**.






I've had it all sorted now.

But those of you out there using credit cards online,
I trusted them 98% and didnt have trouble 100%. Until yesterday.
Thank God, Mum always checked up on me.

I've been reluctant using the web, ever since I found out.
Even checking my e-mails on my own PC.
I know, it may have nothing to do with it.
But I dont remember typing my 16 digits in places I dont know about.
I havent got a clue when and where (obviously).
So I did a virus check, just in case. It's all clean.

I'm a little freaked out.

Getting extremely wary of what Im doing on the web.






You people reading this.
You best be careful of how you use the internet.
We're living in the safest country on the planet.
But the internet is universal. Everyone's out there.

You never know who's looking.
They may be taking a peep at you right at this moment.
They may be taking a peep at you the moment you opened your browser.

Careful people.






Im thinking of getting e-cards.
Those ones that are annoymous. No personal infos.

When your going to type in your 16 digits,
make sure you know what your doing.






Doubt, before you trust.

うぉ~、マジっすか!
俺もかなり信じきってるけど…
心改めるべきか…
そういうのって、どうなるの?保障とか。

マジでか!!かなりやられたなミッキー…。
俺はまだかなりキャッシュな人間やから
そんなこと考えてもなかったわ!!!
いつかネット世界で買い物するときは
まじできをつけるわ。

悪用されてることがはっきりしてたんで、払い戻し&請求書の変更だけで済みました!ちなみにシンガポールからの請求でした(苦笑)

俺もア○ゾンとかメジャーなところでしか使ってないのに…今までオークションをあんまり信用してなかったけど、今回の件でネットショッピング全般を信用できんくなってもた!あはは!w
