I have a better idea. At least it is what I do. After an order is placed I log-in to my database and delete the info. I DO NOT trust it being on the web and neither should anyone. No matter how secure we think our info is hackers CAN GET IT. I try to remove as much info as possible as then and only then do you know your customerБ─≥s info is protected. It only takes 30 seconds to fix. Just one time login to your mysql database (or whatever you use) I then create a link in my favorites so all I have to do is click it next time. Then just go to your Customers Table and then on that customer REMOVE THE CC INFO then click save. As said it only takes about 30 seconds and if you really care about your customerБ─≥s security this is the only SURE way to get it off of a vulnerable computer. Would you be happy in knowing that your info (especially CC info) was being stored on the web by some company where a hacker could come get it or would you feel more secure knowing that it is only stored in the companies Accounting software away from the web and a vulnerable server. If your customers get upset about entering a total of 20 numbers (16 for the card and 4 for the expiration date) then man has this world ever become lazy. Anyway this was just my suggestion for securing the info.
