I have been told that 3D secure must be enabled on web sites as of the 1st of January 2008 for web sites that accept credit cards. Does anyone have any information on this to make this comment hold weight and if it applies to UK based businesses with a web site accepting credit cards? (or if someone is simply pulling my leg) We have a Gibraltar registered company which accepts credit cards via Paypal Pro UK and the hosting is in the US. (and the majority of clients are UK based).
I haven't heard anything about it. I think it would be really big news for it to be required. It may be certain banks / processors are requiring it but I don't think it is an industry-wide move by any means.
