If it's any consolation at all I've been a big online shopper for well over 10 years and I have never had a problem. Yes there is aways a chance, but you are more at risk of at having your own computer compromised via malware, phishing, or other types of attacks.

Or using a credit card at Target, Home Depot, or even filing a tax return.

For sure..... I go to UMUC to learn cyber security and last year they were breached. They gave us all 2 years of life lock to protect us but hackers are VERY smart and will more than likely wait two years before using the stolen data. There are so my attack vectors that worrying about shopping online is pointless.

I have never had a problem with e-liquidBox.com ! :)
From the e-liquidBox.com FAQ, very first entry-


Becoming a Member



HOW DOES A DOLLAR SHAVE CLUB MEMBERSHIP WORK?
It’s simple. You sign up by selecting an e-LiquidBox and creating an account with your shipping address and billing details. We ship you a box full of e-liquid. Then we bill and ship you additional bottles of e-liquid every month after, like a subscription. You can cancel anytime.

FAIL

I wouldn't trust them.

I got hacked about a month ago. Some thief went crazy on a CC that I never use for online purchase.
But wait !!!
Just got a call yesterday & the same thing happened again. That's 2 times in one month, same card.

Seems to boil down to plain bad luck. I think the hackers already have multiple lists of CC info. So it's always a crap shoot.

Funny thing is my CC that I do use online has never had a problem. Go figure.
Just make sure you have fraud protection in place. My "regional" bank always calls me when something looks fishy. The hacked card this last time showed someone purchasing movie theater tickets in Mexico City for $18.00 & I got a call from just that.
It's such a PITA when it happens. Glad I missed the Home Despair & Target fiasco's.
Too bad more vendors don't use PayPal like Fasttech, never a problem there.
Good luck. I'm sure you'll be fine.....knock on wood. :lol:
