SOME STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT WEB SITE SECURITY

Web Site Security

Website security is not only an important issue for customer's and merchant's but it is becoming harder and harder to ensure as the thieves around the world improve their skills.

Virtually every website that accepts credit cards, including HIGH CALIBER KNIVES, employs a security system called SSL (secure socket layer). This technology makes it impossible for a person or a computer to steal your credit card number while you are completing your transaction. You can tell when SSL is in effect because the URL at top of your browser will start with "https:" instead of http. This technology is effective and useful but is active only while you are completing the transaction.

The problem is that most websites capture the credit card number into a database or transaction file. This allows hackers who break into a web server to find and take these credit card numbers long after the transaction has been completed. The stolen credit card numbers are then used to defraud merchants on the internet and cause a hassle for the card holder. SSL can do nothing to prevent this. As you know, hackers are capable of breaking into virtually any web server.

HIGH CALIBER KNIVES has solved this problem by automatically deleting the credit card number after the transaction has been authorized. In other words, there is no record of the credit card number anywhere on our web server. If a hacker were to break into the site, there would be nothing to steal. We don't even know your credit card number. It simply isn't available to anyone except the credit card company and you, the card holder. We only receive an authorization and transaction number so that we can capture the sale and deposit the funds at the time we ship your order.

The point of all this is that we are on the forefront of web site security technology and have created an environment in which your credit card number is never saved on our web server. It is impossible for your account to be compromised at HIGH CALIBER KNIVES because there is nothing to compromise. You can feel confident that it is safe to use our shopping cart on line. Enjoy shopping at HIGH CALIBER KNIVES and thanks sincerely for your business.
