XP Home SP2 may land me in court!!!
Here's the scenario - I have a network w/2PCs on XP Home SP2 w/2wire
homeportal/ethernet connection. Gramps is on one, me & hubby on the other. All three of us make online purchases, however, gramps is CLUELESS on security & no matter how much I beg/plead- follows or remembers anything. Ask for his CC# in a chat room - i'm scared. No user accounts set up on either (his password memory...) Anyhoo we 3 share pcus occasionally. I ordered a rx from my pcu/ip addy & ASSUMED since I had an acct w/them they used MY CC info turns out it was Gramp's!!! (no I didn't 'confirm' my info/autofill/whatever I assumed it was correct I SUCK I KNOW) I have never seen his card in my life, and he's flipping out, saying I'm stealing from him & he's gonna press charges against me for CC FRAUD!? Can someone throw out ideas/scenarios how my pc picked up his not-so-secure cc# info??? I know I didn't do it, but it sure looks like I did! |

Possible he used your computer - you said his memory wasn't "tops".

Most sites allow you to check a box that will store your cc info in their
database and make it easily available next time you want to purchase something. Usually it will ask you if you want to use your saved cc or whatever. This being true if you are logging in as the same user. Does gramps buy things from that same place? Does he log in there? This has very little to do with local security. If anything would come up from swapping computers, it would be a username and possibly a stored password but again it would probably say "welcome back gramps" and this would be only if he shopped at the same place you do.
