Why do I get an “invalid special character” error message when I attempt to enter my name and registration info that only includes numbers and alphabetic characters?
In order to comply with Payment Card Industry (PCI) standards, a number of security utilities must be used. Some of these utilities can detect special characters in “cookies” and other behind the scenes structures on your computing device that are commonly used to gain unauthorized access to computer programs and data. This can result in a very general error message, like “invalid character,” since the PCI standards prohibit the use of more detailed error messages because they can assist “hackers” with overcoming the security utilities.
