People are always asking me if it is safe to use your credit card on the Internet. Finally a stat that shows where the REAL security threat resides:
The most common place for credit card information to be stolen is at a restaurant, according to Visa.
The credit card company, which constantly monitors cardholder transactions and data for fraud, has determined that 40 percent of all credit card theft occurs at dining locations — more than at any other type of merchant. source
