SmartSwipe Revolutionizes Online Shopping

World's first truly secure personal credit card reader keeps PC safe while shopping online

Regina, SK – July 14, 2009 – NetSecure Technologies is proud to offer US consumers the immediate availability of SmartSwipe, a personal credit card reader that keeps your credit card information and identity completely safe when you're shopping online. Plug the SmartSwipe into your computer's USB port, visit your favorite online stores, and swipe your credit card exactly like you would at a shop. SmartSwipe then scrambles and encrypts the user's credit card data before it reaches the user's computer or internet providing instant protection from malicious software attacks.

Traditional online security only protects your sensitive information once it has reached the internet, but not while it's sitting on your computer. Credit card companies, online retailers and security professionals spend millions every year to make the internet a safer place for credit card transactions. Despite these constant advances, credit card data is stolen every day due to the vulnerability of personal computers. Hackers and thieves make a living taking your credit card data and personal information right from the desktop.

"Until now, there hasn't been an affordable and effective solution for consumers to securely protect their credit card data while shopping online" said Daniel McCann, President of NetSecure Technologies. "Hackers have extremely sophisticated methods of circumventing traditional internet security to steal your personal information right from your computer. SmartSwipe facilitates transactions that leave no trace of credit card data, guaranteeing your information remains secure."

SmartSwipe features simple plug and play installation and also eliminates the need to manually enter credit card information saving time while you shop online. The SmartSwipe works with nearly every major credit card and credit/debit card combination including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. System requirements include Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Internet Explorer 6 or higher. It also features a 90 day no-hassle return policy should you not be 100% satisfied.

The SmartSwipe is available now from SmartSwipe.ca with a MSRP of $99.95. For more information and a brief product demo video, please visit www.smartswipe.ca

This thing is, and always will be %100 secure. I see no fraud happening with this thing. Evar!

[sk8ordie @ Jul 14th 2009 2:14PM]

It's funny how it says it's really secure and it's using IE6. lol,

[Wwhat @ Jul 14th 2009 6:11PM]

Nope, impressively I see firefox there in the video!
And I'm impressed because uually such software that interact with the browser is only made available for IE, can it be it's finally the next century?

[RoboXBX @ Jul 14th 2009 12:47PM]

Cannot wait till this is hacked by a man in the middle attach.. OUCH!!!

[Look_Around_You @ Jul 14th 2009 1:41PM]

I looking at the man in the middle!

I'm asking him to changes his ways!

[CJ @ Jul 14th 2009 12:49PM]

My dream come true! The amazing swiping action at home!!! ILL TAKE 7

[xtole @ Jul 14th 2009 12:59PM]

7 at $100 a pop? I'll enter your CC info into webpages for you, and I'll only charge you a flat fee of $500. Call me.

[Gibblitz @ Jul 14th 2009 12:50PM]

Does it take that long to send the information to the computer?

[Piz @ Jul 14th 2009 9:09PM]

Usb 1.0

[Tirrock @ Jul 14th 2009 12:50PM]

So now I can pay $99.95 to not learn basic internet security? Awesome!

[Jordan @ Jul 14th 2009 12:52PM]

Who's going to pay 100 bucks for that?

[bioadam @ Jul 14th 2009 1:02PM]

Someone with an erzats Target(R) card reader and a CueCat.

[Philip @ Jul 14th 2009 2:02PM]

the very same one entering their CC number the old fashiond way into their site now
just to buy this thing..

[Inane_Asylum @ Jul 14th 2009 3:08PM]

My guess is they'd be paying for it by credit card...

[Ed T @ Jul 14th 2009 12:53PM]

Oh great, this is surely what we need. Got a call from India this AM. Some slimy SOB is using my Citi card to buy jewelry all over LA. Stuff like this reader should be popular with certain (criminal) elements in the population.

[codeh87 @ Jul 14th 2009 1:25PM]

S'ok, I'm almost done with it, this rolex is quite nice

[telepheedian @ Jul 14th 2009 2:35PM]

For $500, I will hunt him down.

[Heath @ Jul 14th 2009 12:53PM]

this is cool and stupid all the the same time.... Can't decide!!! TOO MUCH INFO!!! (head explodes)

[Chris Are @ Jul 14th 2009 1:19PM]

I'll help: it's not cool, it's just stupid. You're welcome. :-)

[Nick @ Jul 14th 2009 12:55PM]

so... how do you safely & securely order the thing that lets you safely & securely order stuff?

[NHAnimator @ Jul 14th 2009 3:19PM]

Just reply to this post with your credit card number and we'll do the rest. Be sure to include expiration date and security digits for faster "processing".

[xcrunk @ Jul 14th 2009 12:55PM]

Because punching in your CC numbers is hard work.

[Nate DiDonato @ Jul 14th 2009 12:55PM]

I guess laptop users are lost without a keypad and don't know how to enter their CC#?

[Chris Dunning @ Jul 14th 2009 12:55PM]

Maybe for $15-25 bucks, but at $100 the convenience factor simply isn't there for me. My bank calls me if something doesn't match my spending habits, so I'm not worried about identity theft.

[mike @ Jul 14th 2009 2:32PM]

what if you have a habit of overspending?

[Chris Dunning @ Jul 14th 2009 3:49PM]

Hmm. I dunno. "Hello, Mr. Dunning? We've noticed that you haven't even come close to over drafting your account this month. Has someone stolen your debit card?"

[TheBuzzer @ Jul 14th 2009 12:58PM]

How does the site know how to read the fields when sent?

[pavlindrom @ Jul 14th 2009 1:05PM]

The last line in the video that more websites than ever support this technology tells me that it's a form that the software will automatically submit with encrypted information that then gets decoded through CF or PHP or whatever. That's the only way I could see it work. I don't know how it's going to work in IE and Firefox and Opera and Chrome...

[Penguin @ Jul 14th 2009 1:07PM]

It doesn't know that the user is using SmartSwipe. All the security is here on the client-side. Basically it bypasses the keyboard to prevent keyloggers, and sends it a little differently then the browser would, but once it gets to the server, it's the same data/format as normal. I'd love to see how it detects which form fields are the credit card number, etc.

[Troy Powers (PSN: TroyPowers) @ Jul 14th 2009 1:42PM]

That's what I was thinking. How does it know which field is for the name, and which is for the cc number? How does it know if the first and last name are in two different fields, or combined into one?

[Gravy @ Jul 14th 2009 1:01PM]

"SmartSwipe then scrambles and encrypts the user's credit card data..."

Phew. I was afraid this might just encrypt the user's credit card data without also scrambling it. That would be a disaster!

[Morten @ Jul 14th 2009 1:59PM]

Miracle 10/10 i love that comment

[Hirudin @ Jul 14th 2009 2:16PM]

LOL
I prefer my data to be double scrambled before being encrypted, that's like 50% more secure!

[mike @ Jul 14th 2009 2:35PM]

No, not scrambled. I would like sunny side up.

[Andreas @ Jul 14th 2009 1:02PM]

Installing a device to steal other people's credit card information is now easier than ever!

[Aideed @ Jul 14th 2009 1:06PM]

Where is Billy Mays when you need him?

[takamaru @ Jul 14th 2009 1:28PM]

Word...

[Kali4 @ Jul 14th 2009 1:40PM]

He was smartly swiped from this earth before the launch of this atrocity.

[Mr. Ford @ Jul 14th 2009 9:21PM]

RIP Billy Mays

[KEROLiUKAS @ Jul 14th 2009 1:09PM]

I don't see how this prevents any identity theft at all. The website still must have those numbers in order to charge you, so the only thing it protects is you from seeing your own card #. It may protect from keylogging, but def. not phishing.

[Drew_Ill @ Jul 14th 2009 1:25PM]

BILLY MAYS HERE FOR THE SMARTSWIPE!! SWIPE IT, DON'T TYPE IT!! IT'S THE EASY WAY TO CHARGE YOURSELF INTO BANKRUPTCY, STARTING WITH ONE EASY PAYMENT OF $99.95!! BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! WITH YOUR PURCHASE, SUZE ORMAN WILL COME TO YOUR HOUSE PERSONALLY AND B-SLAP YOU FOR PURCHASING THIS PRODUCT!!

[Drew_Ill @ Jul 14th 2009 1:26PM]

Yeah, that was supposed to be under Aideed's comment. -1 for me :(
