As I run an internet company I have done a lot of research into credit card fraud.

Most card details are stolen OFFLINE, it is incredibly difficult to steal card details online.

Can you provide a reliable source for this statistic?

Most companies that you give your credit card details to can see them in plain text. All it takes is for one shifty member of staff to decide that they want to use the details for something untoward and then you've got fraud.

Even though a website may begin https/, this means the connection is secure - it doesn't mean that anything that happens after that is necessarily secure.

I run a website too, and I (and my staff, if I had any staff would) have access to all my customers' credit card details. Of course, I would not do anything fraudulent because that would damage the reputation of my company.

In my opinion, there is very little that you or I (as consumers) can do to prevent this type of credit card fraud - it's going to happen eventually whether we like it or not one way or another.
