If one doesn't know by now to protect your CC info then you deserve to lose your money. This has been happening for years.

I thought you were only responsible for up to $50 on credit card fraud.

Not in Canada. Banks accountable for all of it.

Although online payments have become an essential requirement for daily transactions, they're still not 100% secure. Mastercard's VISA partnership network has been proven to offer the most protection. Still, other networks have improved their security over the years as well. Apple Pay and Google Wallet have included security measures to help protect customers' funds when making purchases in stores. It's nice to see that they are using Device Fingerprinting — Intelligence Technology. Wallet encryption is becoming a more common feature on smartphone applications as well.
