Credit card submitted over http, chance of being intercepted?

    I made a mistake today on a very highly reputable site. Apparently there was a bug today that if you didn't log out, and simply returned to the site, it would switch from https to standard http. And i purchased something and typed my credit card info in and only realized later that this was over http.

    My question is how high of a chance do I have that this info could be intercepted? Should I be bracing for an attack?

    I agree. Nothing to worry about really, but bad practice for sites that sell and don't use an SSL.

    That's exactly how peoples lose their money on the internet - by leaving their CC & other data on non-certified websites !
