In a recent article by Rob Pegoraro in The Washington Post's "Fast Forward" magazine (May 1996), spokesmen for MasterCard International and AT&T's Universal Card acknowledged that to date, they knew of no cases of Internet credit card fraud. Statistically, it's much safer to use you credit card on the Web than to use it in a restaurant or department store.

We think that's good news, but we still take every possible precaution to protect the integrity of your credit card information.

We offer you the choice of using the Netscape Secure Commerce Server, which encrypts any information you type in. You can safely enter your entire credit card number on the secure server, and it cannot be read in transit.

Or course, you can use the secure server even if you want to pay by check or enter only the last five digits of your card number. Remember, if you choose the secure server, all the information you enter on the order form --name, address, telephone number, etc. --is safely encryted.
