Anyone here understand this? I've been getting loads of orders from fraudsters trying to use my site. Secpay have sent this... Can anybody tell me what I need to do?
This is an urgent notification regarding the current security options you have chosen for your account, pedigr01.
We have noticed a small number of merchants being targeted by fraudsters who are exploiting merchants' accounts to verify stolen or generated card numbers. In each instance this has been because Manadatory Digest Checking has not been enabled on the account.
Unfortunately it would appear that you do not currently have Mandatory Digest Checking enabled on your account which leaves you vulnerable to this kind of activity.
We do give merchants the opportunity to use all the security features that our system provides to block fraudsters but we have to allow these features to be deactivated because occasionally our clients have legitimate business reasons to do so.
However merchants that opt out of these features do so at their own risk and it is therefore the merchants' responsibility to ensure the validity of the transactions processed through their account.
You need to be aware that you will be liable for any charges arising from this kind of fraudulent activity.
We therefore strongly recommend that you implement Mandatory Digest Checking in your website communications with SECPay as a matter of priority.
Please refer to our Integration Guide section 9 for details on how to implement this relatively straightforward change.

Once the digest has been implemented and tested, please send a confirmation e-mail to admin@secpay.com and request that the 'req_digest=true' option be added to your account.
By implementing Mandatory Digest Checking you will be protected against this method of fraud.
