At the weekend I book the Tossa Beach hotel which uses an online booking service provided by www.vectork.net. The site seemed fine at this was 'https' and the padlock was displayed, so so far so good.
Then I get 2 emails, the 1st from the booking service and the 2nd from the hotel. The one from the hotel was a forwarded email that the vectork system had sent the hotel. This email included ALL of my credit card details in name, expiry date, full card number AND 3 digit security code :eek::mad::eek::mad:
I have emailed vectork and advised them I will be reporting them to all the relevant authorities as I am sure this in in breach of various rules and regulations.

Quite right too - dreadful lapse of security. What a shower of Tossa(s)!0
