Here are some steps to protect your credit card information when shopping online:

1. Choose reputable online stores: Look at online stores’ reviews and see if they have any history of data breaches. Choose trusted sites that have policies in place to protect your information.


2. Be aware of phishing scams: Be aware of emails and links from unrecognized sources and don’t download attachments from suspicious emails. Never provide financial information on a website that doesn’t have a secure connection.


3. Secure your computer: Use a firewall and anti-virus software to protect your computer from malicious software.


4. Always logout: Be sure to log out of your account after shopping, as this prevents anyone using your computer from accessing your account.


5. Protect your passwords: Never use the same password for multiple online accounts and use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols in your passwords.


6. Monitor your credit regularly: Regularly check your credit card and bank statements for unusual activity. Report any suspicious activity immediately.
