in reply to How can I secure MySQL & CGI?
Credit card information should ALWAYS be encrypted if it is stored on disk anywhere, and/or transfered over any wire anywhere. I use PGP/GPG to encrypt CC info written to a MySQL database. The field it writes to is of type TEXT. Encrypting the actual CC data ensure that even if unauthorized people get access to your database, they can't do anything heinous with the data.
