Online shopping and security

One of the buzz words of the Internet have been 'e-commerce', or Electronic Commerce. E-commerce basically means purchasing goods or services over the Internet, but just how secure is giving out your personal information over the net anyway? Generally speaking, with a well-established company such as E-bay, whom have developed relationships with millions of users, security is very tight. All personal information, credit card numbers, etc., are all sent to a secure server, and encrypted usually with a 128-bit encryption strength, which is virtually impossible to crack or intercept. However, with anything, it is not 100%. Just be wary about giving your personal information out online, and make sure if you do it is through a secure connection.
