I didn't know card companies allow that (a unique number for untrusted web sites). I keep a card with a low limit that is not linked to any of my regular bank accounts for online purchases at sites I'm not wholly comfortable with.Davest wrote: ↑December 29th, 2021, 5:31 pm I don't have a problem with verification. As Calgary Mike said, you used to need verification just to look at nudie mags. Many credit cards (mine included) allow you to create a unique number for any website you don't trust that can only be used by that domain. It's not foolproof, but it would prevent a great deal of fraud. However, I do agree with all of the problems brought up in the article. It would be great if these measures would reduce the shit being caused by Mastercard, but since they are in the pocket of ignorant anti-porn religious zealots, I'm guessing that won't happen.
Based on some work I did for a client some years ago, I remember finding that most porn sites are very safe. It was ecommerce and professional association sites that had the most security issues.WalterB wrote: ↑December 28th, 2021, 9:33 pm The problem is, you already have to give up your CC to buy stuff. Now, we know that Amazon and other sites are trustworthy. So how do we determine which porn sites are trustworthy? Do these sites have the verifications? Do they have the security protocols in place to protect your internet traffic? Larger ones, like Pornhub, etc. "probably" do. Otherwise, sooner or later, issues would be traced to them and they would be out of business.
But who is to say that ALL porn sites are that way. You know, you get as much money as you can, then you disappear, maybe to resurface under a totally different domain, IP, whatever you need to start over.
Actually, this can be solved quite easily having porn sites validate user ids through the tax department! Using something called SAML tokens. The recipient site wouldn't receive any information about you, except that your identity has been validated.rokkerr wrote: ↑December 28th, 2021, 3:24 pmhttps://www.xbiz.com/news/263808/france ... ft-paywall

I tend to feel the same way, Lance. But there are bad sites out there. At least according to my security. Yes, you did say "most" and maybe that's the key.lance_s wrote: ↑December 30th, 2021, 12:26 pmBased on some work I did for a client some years ago, I remember finding that most porn sites are very safe.

The social security number was created after the social security act was passed as a way to track employee earnings to calculate social security benefits. That was the only thing is was ever supposed to be allowed to be used for. Now look at it.WalterB wrote: ↑December 30th, 2021, 11:40 am Absolutely, Greggl. If I'm not actually purchasing something, you don't need my number for anything. They are also (for years now,) using your Social Security number as identification, which I highly disagree with, given the amount of hacking that goes on.
