I guess you never use a credit card to purchase online or use electronic
banking?

Internet Accelerator May Read Your Credit Card Numbers

<snip> What this program does is akin to monitoring each and every possible
activity you carry out on your computer. Marketscore in fact routes all of a
user's surfing destinations through its own servers. There it analyzes the
data to "create research reports on internet trends and e-commerce
activities," according to Marketscore itself. Even data entered on secure
websites -- such as passwords, ** credit card ** numbers and bank account
numbers, information that is supposed to be viewable only by the sender and
the intended recipient -- is accessible to Marketscore, as the company has
developed a technology that allows it to view encrypted information.
