Never See Credit Card v1
for osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2
One of the BIGGEST liabilities an ecommerce store faces is storage of credit card information. The constant worry whether your database has been or will be compromised can weigh heavy on a store operator.
You are faced with two options:
1. Do nothing - not a very good idea.
2. Don't even store the credit card number. Great idea!!!
Let's face it even if you are in TOTAL control of your database - eventually someone somewhere will try to hack it. If they succeed every one of your customers credit cards will be compromised. This simple to install and use script STOPS the would be thief cold because neither you, your employees, nor anyone else will actually see the card number.
You can honestly tell your customers that you do have, see, store or otherwise have access to their credit card information. Peace of mind for you and removal of a liability that you really do not want or need.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS IF YOU USE THE NUMBER FOR CREDITS, REFUNDS, VOIDS, ETC. We issue refund checks rather than issuing electronic methods.
Good Luck.

After putting this up - I thought it would be a good idea to include a snippet to clear / overwrite any existing credit card numbers....
You can simply run the following piece of sql code on your database. This code will
REPLACE any and ALL exisiting numbers with "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
UPDATE orders SET cc_number = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" ;
The attached file is the complete fileset with an updated install instructions which includes the above information.
