So I have to admit my wife and I are “web-shopaholics” to the extreme. Most of the stuff we buy, outside of groceries we do online…I mean we have even gone as far as ordering pizza online! In our shopping there are two things that both of us very much dislike 1. having to enter our credit/debit card info on every transaction, and 2. the possibility of identity and account information theft…I also hate having to turn on a light if in a dark room or on the deck at night to get my card info and enter it.

Did you know that even the strongest Internet security does not completely protect you while you shop online? Traditional Internet security will protect your information once it has reached the Internet, but hackers can still access your personal information while it is being entered into your computer and/or while it resides in memory. Anti-virus software and firewalls are no longer enough to protect you. With SmartSwipe your information is safe from the moment you swipe your card and your card information is never stored on your computer. If you want to be safe while shopping online you need SmartSwipe.

NetSecure Technologies has addressed these needs with the US release of the SmartSwipe, a secure USB personal credit card reader. This is one of those “why didn’t I ever think about that” devices. The SmartSwipe secures and encrypts personal information before it even reaches your computer. Definitely a must buy for any hardcore Internet shopper. Check it out over at SmartSwipe, there is even a video that explains their Dynamic SSL encryption.

SmartSwipe can be purchased here, starting at $89.99 for Canadian customers. US price will be about $86 (depending upon conversion); purchase info is still pending as official Press release was posted today with more info to come.
