    ********. When any user submits credentials using http any snooper along the pathways can grab what they need. Additionally, there are those sitting in priv positions along the backbone. Lets just say that I am glad I am not their customer!

    To me, most surprising part was, how website operator doesn't know basics about secure connections to their website and how they think that securing their server solves all security problems. I wonder how many other operators and administrators also don't have basic security related knowledge.
