But I consider the risk of sending over the CC info to Rebels website much smaller than sending the info over email to a complete stranger. The only realistic attack would be hacking the Rebel webserver. In that case, a secured transaction will not help. OTOH, it would be trivial for an attacker to go out sending emails to everyone whom he knows or thinks has ordered a ChessBase product. (just watch these forums or rgcc or so), and fake the sender email and attach a nice ChessBase logo to it. Social engineering is always the best option for cracking. -- GCP
