    erm

    merchant = https order from and there to a secure mail
    serverand from there to the ISPs insecure ...oops
    there goes all that SSL

    and no i dont know for sure if the merchant had secure
    mail ..point being there it wouldnt matter if the ISP
    secured their email or wireless transmissions

    and ill be damned if i prove i have someones credit
    card # this way .. in fact i deny even knowing this is
    possible

    this is all hypothetical

    cept the part about the ISP not using any form of
    encryption anywhere

    >How about we hold the person responsible that
    >initially creates the

    >vendetta against.

    vendetta ?

    k

    thats it ...everyone pack up and go home

    security is now a vendetta

    quit being retarded

    this is a full blown ISP I tried to convince to use
    any form of encryption including TLS / SSL email( the
    admin thinks simply using kismet is hacking ) ... i
    was ignored ( they do offer webhosting & mail services
    along with DSL & dialup.. they also support many
    local businesses )

    http://www.effingham.net check them out....free
    internet at the intersection of I-57 and I-70 in IL

    when i posted the fact there was no protection for
    users publicly ( on my own discussion board ) the ISP
    ( wireless ) accused me of harassment to my ISP ( i
    hate talking to lawyers )

    i have now harvested several hundred client email
    addresses to whom i will be sending copies of their
    own email ( nothing else works so i suppose the direct
    approach should be tried )

    perhaps that will create some awareness by DISCLOSING
    the facts to endusers about the company trying to
    hide the fact their data is so easy to obtain

    are u aware of the definition of disclosure or are u a
    posing geek who likes to use big buzzwords and
    bullshit their way into something ?
