Credit Card Validation - Check Digits
2007-10-27 17:44:00
This document outlines procedures and algorithms for Verifying the accuracy and validity of credit card numbers. Most credit card numbers are encoded with a "Check Digit". A check digit is a digit added to a number (either at the end or the beginning) that validates the authenticity of the number. A simple algorithm is applied to the other digits of the number which yields the check digit. By running the algorithm, and comparing the check digit you get from the algorithm with the check digit encoded with the credit card number, you can verify that you have correctly read all of the digits and that they make a valid combination.Possible uses for this information:When a user has keyed in a credit card number (or scanned it) and you want to validate it before sending it our for debit authorization.When issuing cards, say an affinity card, you might want to add a check digit using the MOD 10 method.

How Are Credit Cards Gained By Hackers?
2007-10-16 17:40:00
A hacker has many ways to gain a credit card number from an innocent user. The most common one is known as phishing. In this technique, the hacker poses as an officer within an organization, let's say VISA. The hacker sends to a group of email accounts an alert, instructing the receiver to follow determined set of instructions before his credit card is cancelled.If the user is not aware of this kind of fraud, he will insert his credit card number, his name and expiration date without knowing he is going to be a victim of an online crime.Another way for hacking credit card numbers is through a website. The hacker only needs to hack the systems of an online retailer, let's say, Costco, and search for the database where the retailer stores the information of all of the users who have made recent transactions.The third way is through the online process of buying. Let's say an adult finds a website with adult content that he or she finds attractive. It's quite probable that the websi...

Credit Card Hackers Are Here - Have You Checked Your Credit Report Lately?
2007-10-16 17:38:00
Credit card hacking has become one of the new security headaches of consumers. Although in face to face transactions the percentage of credit card fraud is almost a tenth of a percent, in online transactions it's as high as two or three percent.That means that for every one hundred transactions you may do in the internet, you may suffer two or three breaches in your private information. Stopping credit card number hacking is, nowadays, one of the priorities of credit card brands around the world.One funny thing about many of these hackers; free credit card numbers are posted at the internet. Some of them don't want the potential money that can be acquired from this information, only the fame.

Credit Cards that Make Sense for You
2007-10-10 17:42:00
There are four types of credit cards, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, from which you can choose. The first, most familiar type is the credit card. Credit cards initiate with big companies such as Visa®, MasterCard® and Discover®, who cooperate with banks, who then issue the actual card and regulate spending and billing according to Visa or MasterCard’s (or other, much smaller competitors) rules. Credit cards permit revolving debt – that is, in each billing cycle, you may spend money up to a certain amount and also pay back some or all of the money spent in the previous cycle. If you carry no debt, then credit cards are a great way to make purchases between paychecks – as long as you pay them off each month, no interest accrues. Credit cards are also ideal for use in emergencies, when you may not have the cash on hand to pay for an immediate necessity. However, many people spend much more than they pay back each month, sending them into a spiral of increasing...

The Financial Services Department can advise departments on current gateways used at the University of Toronto.
