It is difficult enough to feel secure about providing ones credit card details to online vendors of products and services.I think it is way overdue for online vendors to re-look at how they manage sensitive data provided to them via electronic transaction, otherwise we may be looking at the first of many waves of litigation concerning this area. When I enter a website and provide my credit card data to compete a commercial trasaction, there is an implicit trust and presumption that the vendor will do everything within its means and then some to ensure that this trust is not violated or compromised.As a lawyer I for one will be watching this space very closely and for good measure hold off any future transactions on RPGNOW until such time I personally feel assured that they have implemented a far more robust means of managing sensitive data that they are provided by their consumers so as to avoid a fiasco like this from repeating itself - 'nuff said, for now.DS.</blockquote>
