Re: Multilingual database

You should encrypt all sensitive information, like password, credit 
card, social security number, etc.  It should be encrypted while 
traveling over the internet, e.g. by using SSL, but it should also be 
stored in an encrypted way.

We hear all too often how "hackers have stolen a million personal 
records from company xyz."  You wouldn't want your company to get 
into the news like that.

Cheers,

Marc

It is a convenient thing to do, but it's not very safe unless you 
somehow store this information encrypted, or at least, scrambled.
