Credit card holders may be interested in comments from the presenter of the BBC's technology programme Click that the risk of becoming a victim of cyber crime can be minimised.
Spencer Kelly, presenter of Click, speaking at the Gartner Information Security Summit, said cyber crime is a proper industry that has built up where there are different levels of service providers.
However, the presenter suggested more co-operation between authorities across borders would help to reduce cyber crime, which could affect credit card holders.
More education about cyber crime would also help people to know how to fight it, he continued.
Mr Kelly's comments follow news from information technology research company Gartner that the world security software market will be worth £8.9 billion this year.
This is an increase of 8% since last year, according to statistics released by the company on Monday.
"If we can educate home users then maybe we can install a new level of common sense, a new bit of streetwise," Mr Kelly commented.
"Maybe we will all learn to do things a bit differently and protect ourselves from things that look suspicious online."
