So many of you may remember that I had my debit card compromised over the Christmas holiday and the culprit drained my checking account dry at a online poker site. Although I was able to get all my money back, I learned alot.

Don’t use your debit card for online transactions.

I am still not sure how or where my card was compromised, although I have a suspision that it was from an online music retailer based in the soviet union – just a hunch.

So I have since stopped using my debit cards for any online transactions. I have however signed up for a c0% credit cards that I only use for online transactions.

This protects my personal bank accounts and I’m still covered through MC if my credit cards gets compromised. So protect them credit cards people. Click here to compare credit cards.
