Zogby Poll: 64% of Americans Abandoned an Online Purchase Due to Security Concerns



Majority of Americans Have Abandoned an Online Purchase Due to Security Concerns, Poll Finds

National Cyber Security Alliance Urges Online Shoppers to "Stop. Think. Connect.," Recommends Internet Safety Tips for Holiday Season

WASHINGTON, Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- As the holiday shopping season and Cyber Monday approaches, a growing majority of Americans – 64 percent – report they have not made an online purchase from a specific website because of security concerns, according to a national poll released today by the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA).
When asked to explain why they did not make that purchase, 60 percent said it was because they were not sure if the site was secure, 51.4 percent were worried about providing information requested, and 48.4 percent felt a website requested more information than was necessary for the transaction. Respondents were given the option to pick more than one reason. Zogby International conducted the poll for NCSA.
"The Internet is a fabulous, convenient resource for gift givers to get a jumpstart on their holiday shopping and bargain hunting, but people need to stay aware and alert about the risks," said NCSA Executive Director Michael Kaiser. "If there is any doubt about the security or authenticity of a website, hold off making the purchase."
Despite some security concerns, online shopping is a popular activity for Americans. The poll found that 69.3 percent research potential purchases over the Internet, 68 percent make purchases online, 62.4 percent make online payments, and 38 percent buy goods from online auction sites.
As a new area for security awareness, more Americans are shopping from their mobile phones, with those making online payments doubling to 8 percent from last year. Those researching potential purchases from their phones also grew to 16 percent, up from 9 percent in 2009. A recent study published by NCSA and Norton by Symantec found that 87 percent of Americans felt safer going online with their PCs than with their phones, spotlighting, new opportunities for consumer and industry awareness with the growth of mobile devices.
"Businesses should take note: online customers are looking to make purchases where they see signs that a website is secure, have a clear understanding of how information collected about them is going to be used, and only information necessary to the transaction is being collected," Kaiser added. "Online shoppers are being smarter and safer online, and that's good for everyone."
Stop. Think. Connect.
As we prepare for Cyber Monday and a holiday season of shopping online, NCSA advises that everyone take a moment to practice "Stop. Think. Connect." The first coordinated online safety message adopted by a large coalition of government, industry and nonprofit organizations, "Stop. Think. Connect." applies to everyone who connects to the Internet, whether from laptops, personal computers, mobile phones, or gaming consoles. Before you connect to the Internet, take a moment to evaluate that you're prepared to share information or engage in a larger community. This will bring an increased sense of personal security, confidence, and peace of mind.
"Stop. Think. Connect." is a good habit for shopping online this holiday season. To help consumers adopt this practice, NCSA offers four tips for consumers to better remain safe and secure while buying gifts online:
  1. Keep a Clean Machine. Check to make sure that all software, especially security, Web browsers and operating systems, are up to date and set to update automatically.
  2. Protect Your Personal Information. When opening new accounts, use long and strong passwords. Only provide the minimal amount of information needed to complete a transaction. When providing personal information for any purchase or other reason, ensure that you know who is asking for the information, and why the need it.
  3. Connect with Care: When shopping, check to be sure a website is security enabled. Look for web addresses with "https://" or "shttp://," which means the site takes extra measures to help secure your information during financial transactions. Be wary of holiday shopping efforts to lure you. Cyber crooks will adjust to the holiday season, trying to get you to click through to deals that may appear to good to be true. They may also try to trick you by sending emails that something has gone wrong with an online purchase.
  4. Be Web Wise: Research sellers before a first time purchase from a merchant (or auction seller) new to you. Search to see how others have rated them, and check their reviews. Do these things even if you are a return customer, as reputations can change.

About the Poll
Zogby/463 conducted an online survey for NCSA between October 1 and October 5, 2010, with a sample size of 3,498 U.S. adults and margin of error +/- 1.7 percent. The sample is representative of the U.S. population.

Holders whose Old Notes are validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 1, 2010 (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Early Tender Date”) will receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes accepted for exchange, $1,000 principal amount of New Notes, consisting of (i) $500 principal amount of New Second Lien Notes in the form of either (a) New Cash-Pay Second Lien Notes or (b) at each holder’s election and subject to the Minimum New PIK Toggle Amount and the Maximum New PIK Toggle Amount, New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes, and (ii) $500 principal amount of New Unsecured Notes (the “Total Consideration”). Holders whose Old Notes are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date but on or prior to midnight, New York City time, on December 15, 2010 (such time and date, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Date”) will receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes accepted for exchange, $970 principal amount of New Notes, consisting of (i) $485 principal amount of New Cash-Pay Second Lien Notes and (ii) $485 principal amount of New Unsecured Notes (the “Exchange Offer Consideration”). In order to be eligible to receive the maximum principal amount of New Notes offered in the Exchange Offers or to receive any New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes, holders must validly tender (and not validly withdraw) their Old Notes on or prior to the Early Tender Date. Holders tendering after the Early Tender Date may not elect to receive New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes.
The maximum aggregate principal amount of New Notes issued in the Exchange Offers will not exceed $5.5 billion. The maximum aggregate principal amount of each Issue of Old Notes that will be accepted for exchange is the outstanding aggregate principal amount of such Issue validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn), as limited by the Maximum Exchange Amount and the prorations, if necessary, resulting therefrom (as such prorations are described in the Offering Memorandum dated November 17, 2010 relating to the Exchange Offers (the “Offering Memorandum”)).
The maximum aggregate principal amount of New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes issued in the Exchange Offers will not exceed $1.0 billion (the “Maximum New PIK Toggle Amount”). Holders whose Old Notes are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) on or prior to the Early Tender Date may elect to receive New Second Lien Notes in the form of New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes (a “PIK Toggle Election”), provided that no New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes will be issued unless PIK Toggle Elections would result in the issuance of at least $500 million aggregate principal amount of New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes (the “Minimum New PIK Toggle Amount”). If the Minimum New PIK Toggle Amount is not met, then holders electing to receive New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes will only receive New Cash-Pay Second Lien Notes in respect of the principal amount of New Second Lien Notes that they are eligible to receive in the Exchange Offers. If the Maximum New PIK Toggle Amount would be exceeded, then the New PIK Toggle Second Lien Notes will be allocated to holders who have made a PIK Toggle Election, as set forth in the Offering Memorandum.
If the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Exchange Offers would, if accepted, result in the issuance of New Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to or less than the Maximum Exchange Amount, then, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offers, First Data will accept for exchange all Old Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn). If the aggregate principal amount of Old Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) in the Exchange Offers would result in the issuance of New Notes in an aggregate principal amount in excess of the Maximum Exchange Amount, then, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offers, the Old Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) will be accepted for exchange on a prorated basis, with Old Notes as to which a PIK Toggle Election has been made receiving a preference, as described in the Offering Memorandum.
Subject to applicable law, First Data reserves the right, but is not obligated, to increase the Maximum New PIK Toggle Amount and/or the Maximum Exchange Amount.
Old Notes tendered pursuant to the Exchange Offers may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 1, 2010 but not thereafter. If withdrawal rights have terminated at the time of any increase in the Maximum New PIK Toggle Amount and/or the Maximum Exchange Amount, subject to applicable law, First Data will not reinstate withdrawal rights and, accordingly, holders should not make PIK Toggle Elections or tender Old Notes unless such holders are prepared to have such elections honored, or such Old Notes exchanged, in full.
The Exchange Offers are subject to certain conditions set forth in the Offering Memorandum including the condition that at least $3.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Old Notes (as such amount may be decreased, the “Minimum Tender Amount”) has been validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date (and not validly withdrawn). Neither Exchange Offer is conditioned on the completion of the other Exchange Offer. First Data reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to terminate, withdraw or amend each Exchange Offer at any time and from time to time, as described in the Offering Memorandum.
The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or any state securities laws. The New Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to any U.S. persons except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Exchange Offers are being made, and the New Notes are being offered and issued only to, persons certifying that (a) they are in the United States and are “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or (b) (i) they are outside the United States and are persons not U.S. persons, who are eligible to acquire securities from the Company pursuant to Regulation S and would be participating in any transaction in accordance with Regulation S and (ii) they are “non-U.S. qualified offerees” (as defined in the Offering Memorandum).
The complete terms and conditions of the Exchange Offers are set forth in the confidential offering memorandum and related letter of transmittal. Documents relating to the Exchange Offers will only be distributed to holders of Old Notes who complete and return a letter of eligibility confirming that they are eligible investors for the purposes of the Exchange Offers. Holders who desire a copy of the eligibility letter should contact Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the information agent for the Exchange Offers, (866) 294-2200 (U.S. toll-free) or (212) 430-3774 (collect).

Security of Secure Vault Payments Complements Advanced Fraud Protection Payment Options
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--USA ePay announced today they will join the Secure Vault PaymentsTM (SVP) network and offer the new online payment option to their more than 40,000 clients before the end of the year.

“Gateways like USA ePay are a critical component to the growth of the Secure Vault Payments network”
Secure Vault Payments is a safe and secure online payment network developed by NACHA — The Electronic Payments Association® and eWise, a provider of online payment and personal financial management solutions.

“We are very excited to have this new functionality for our Payment Gateway service," says Martin Drake, Vice President of Business Development at USA ePay. “Secure Vault Payments functionality will significantly enhance our offering by enabling merchants more payment options to process transactions more efficiently with reduced risk and liability."
When a consumer selects Secure Vault Payments to pay online, the consumer is automatically redirected to their own online banking relationship to select which account they will use for payment.

During the transaction flow, financial institutions authenticate consumers and provide businesses with real-time authorization and guaranteed payment. Because consumers never share any financial account information, the merchant or biller does not have to secure or store payer account information.
