How secure doing business on line?

SSL is the current standard for data encryption on the Internet.  Encryption will not solve the problem alone and good application design and business practices will help as well.\n\nIf you're just starting off I'd outsource the problem to a reputable contracting firm.

i will agree with firefox on what he says also, the less  banking you do on your p.c. the less you have to worry about getting hacked or in troubel by those who want to steal your info. do not take this the wrong way, but if you are on this sight asking about on line banking, then you do not know much about it and that would tell me you do not have your P.c. set up the right way to stop the "bad guys". I do all my banking and bill paying the old way,yes it might take me a bit longer, but if someone wants to get into my system the only thing they will find are my high scores on saved games and some family photos,ect....nothing that would harm me.

Not to scare you... I'm telling you just because you sound like a novice in on-line business. Be careful. Too many crooks looking for prey. Don't give away too much information till you know who and what you are getting into.\n\nNot that everybody is bad.... just be careful. Be careful of identity theft too.\n\nBest of luck

G'day,\n\nConsidering the size of your business, VPN (as suggested by the previous answerers) will be quite a big expenditure for you, since you will need a server, with additional license for Terminal Services and a static IP address with your ISP (Internet Provider) so you can dial-in to your server or workstation anytime anywhere.\n\nProbably the best solution will be to use e-mail and make sure you are using broadband both at home & office to make e-mail traffic faster (since I assume you will have attachments with your e-mails).  I know a document translator who does not have a permanent office, just e-mail and faxes.\n\nHope this helps.  Good Luck :)

I am very experienced with Internet businesses, as I run a couple of Internet businesses, I buy and sell on eBay and I have some customers who have large internet sales businesses.\n\nYahoo answers will not let me publish my web address, but if you write me at yahoo mail, I will be happy to give you any information I can about how to be successful on the web and how to keep from being scammed.\n\n-- Mark

1. Register a domain.\n2. Install some of the shopping cart softwares like oscommerce or u can find them while searching on Yahoo or Google.\n3. Signup for accepting credit cards.\n4. Add your products and u are online.\n\nOr you can open your store at Yahoo or ebay.\n\nNote: you want to learn more about the security using SSL and hacker-free softwares to make u sleep peacefully.

Paypal is safe, it uses the latest RSA encryption software. To include the paypal option on your website you should talk with them!

Technically, if its not a secure network, yes, it can. But, to be honest, most people aren't doing this. It takes a little bit of expertise and the right equipment to do it. You most likely have nothing to worry about.

Its is relatively safe. The one thing is is that one password into Google CHeckout (GC) will give people access to your info. But Google Checkout is very secure, and I use it myself, so I would go ahead.

Surely, the existence of merchant accounts overseas is normal, but I'd be cautious about working with someone who is offering services as an offshore entity unless you're confident they are a legitimate entity.  There's lots of room for fraud, going this route.
