Has anybody paid with Credit Card in Top Tex Knives. They don't have 128 bit SSL. Is it safe?
 
if you want my opinion as computer professional then no it isnt safe, only ever put your credit card details into a site with 128bit SSL running and a valid security certificate (you can view the security certificate by double clicking on the little padlock at the bottom of the browser on most browsers) Even 128 bit encryption is only considered 'adequate' now-days and for highly sensitive information people will use 1024 or 2048 bit encryption, but 128 bit is generally ok, anything below this is pretty insecure and anything unencrypted will go across the internet as plain text for anyone with a packet sniffer to read as easily as youre reading this
