identity theft is serious but using a credit card online isn't how your identity gets stolen.
credit cards online are, imo, safter than pay pal. the money in your pay pal is your money. if someone hacks the account and takes the money you lose that money. credit cards on the other hand are the banks money. if someone uses your credit card fraudulently the bank loses the money not you.
then just don't buy things from shady online stores. amazon is perfectly safe and has everything is a pretty good price. ..but if you see a site where the deal seems almost too good to be true you are probably working with someone that at bare minimum isn't doing a good job securing their web traffic and at worst is phishing.
