Don't be discouraged by those two ^^
The web shop is 100% secure, hack proof by any standards.

Sorry for my earlier posts. As Mystery said, the Webshop is as safe as possible. Just as most of the eCommerce sites online, precautions are made to prevent hacking and other malicious interests.

I encourage you to get a copy of Algodoo and start playing around with it. It's a whole lot of fun, and there's a lot of really cool stuff you can do. If you ever have questions, search around on the forums because odds are that it has been asked before. If you can't find it by search, feel free to ask the forum at large and someone should be back to you with a helpful and informative reply in a couple days at most.

On the topic of Mystery's "100% secure" statement, nothing is 100% secure. You can get close, and in almost all cases that is good enough. I would not worry at all about the security of the webshop. Mystery was right in saying that it is as hack proof as it possibly can be, and that is good enough.

Good luck and have fun with Algodoo!

I'm scared that my mum's details would be stolen and used.

They won't. Many people have bought Algodoo, and only 5% have reported stolen details.

No, I'm kidding. The webshop is (like the others said) 100% safe, and will not steal your details in any way.

You are justified to be wary of this. There's a lot of identity theft and fraud that goes on on the web. Most of it is 419 email fraud. (You know, where they pretend to be a legitimate place you do business with, but that you need to enter all your account details to re-activate your account, or something similar)

I don't know of anyone here who has purchased Algodoo and been ripped off. It hasn't happened. I don't think it will ever happen. It's a real product, with a real community. If you ever get ripped off, you usually don't even get what you bought.

Grab a copy! It's a great program with loads of features and functionality!

That's the algobox, not the web-shop; all normal users that I have heard of have never been hacked. And you may or may not have deserved it. :D

But anyway, as far as I know, the only web-malady that the algodoo site has suffered is spam in the forums... the web-shop is very secure.
