From what I have read, the advice is Don't use tablets or smartphones to 
make any payments on the web. They are far too insecure. Use your home or 
business computer, they have more protection.

Shucks darn!

The new credit card which I activated just yesterday, having made just one 
transaction, was hacked.  Someone in a hotel in Brazil is having fun on my 
account.
Sure I am going to trust online transactions!  That is two accounts hacked 
in two weeks!

So, what insurance is a credit card transaction for automatic payments when 
the card company shuts down the account because that account is hacked? 
Depend on doing business that way.  I was told it would be two weeks before 
I will be getting a new card to use with my business.

Since I made just that one transaction with this iPad, there is something 
which alerted the hackers of this new credit card account that came from 
either this iPad, or the company which I made the purchase.
