Who said anytthing about small webshops? Most of those will be using a majoe third party payment provider anyway, like PayPal, Stripe, or WorldPay, so they'll never see your card details, only the payment provider will. Meanwhile he only problem on Nigel's Vidown page seems to be it's loading an image somewhere from an http source instead of an https one. Other Vidown shops show fully secure when I test them. And like I said, anyone who's really worried (about any on-line shops, not just adult ones) can always use a pre-pay credit card or a secondary account with no credit facilities.
Meanwhile in the last few years there have been massive breaches at British Airways and now Easyjet. Still waiting to hear if I'm affected, I flew EZY to Athens last year. So far, I've never had any details compromised by an adult site. |

By Anonymous - Wed 20/05/20 08:35:24 GMT Sorry to destoy your dreams about little Webshops, but your talking is complete nonsense. Sure, the big hacks like Sony or Yahoo are on top of the headlines in the papers but if you believe that a small webshop is no target for hackers, then as wrong as you could be. If you don not know about the "small" hacks it is just because you do not read it in the papers because no really cares about such news. A friend of mine had a little Shop with less 1000 customers but still this shop was under attack 3 - 4 times a year.
Entering Creditcardnumbers in the orderform of this Site fails even the obvious minimum of Safety (HTTPS) so chances are very good, that there are safetyholes in background. I would never enter my Numbers here. |

By DungeonMasterOne - Tue 19/05/20 21:35:34 GMT Website: saturationhall.umd.net Vidown is one of the biggest names in the business, and the guy who runs it knows internet commerce like few others, so I'm pretty sure it's totally secure. TBH you're more likely to have your card details compromosed by an airline than an adult site.
But if you're really paranoid, get a pre-paid credit card, the kind you "top up" from your main account and can then use but not run up any debt - when the money on the card runs out, it stops working until you top it up again. Or just get a second bank account and debit card, no overdraft or credit facilities, and just transfer enough money into it to cover purchases when you want to buy something. |

By MikeyABQ - Tue 19/05/20 14:47:10 GMT Is there a way to support you Nigel and the forum other than purchasing videos? Many people these days are reluctant even to use Verotel or CCBill and mourn PayPal not being possible. But to use a credit card in some small no name card processor is an absolute no-no by all experts. Especially when it looks like stuck in the 90s, which is fine for a forum, not so much for anything dealing with our credit cards. Don’t get this the wrong way, it’s not whining, it's just that I want to support the forum, as probably many others do, but I will listen to cybercrime experts and the general Internet consensus and sadly will never give out my card information to no name credit card processors only well known names, with certificates and positive reviews online.
I feel rather scared writing this, as I remember the owner of the ViDown system as being rather unpleasant when it comes to criticism, but it is 2020 and Nigel and anyone else who has not been living under a rock probably knows cyber safety rules and there is no doubt that using that site is a no no to all experts. |
