    Lycos Webmail offers a checkbox named "SSL LOGIN" which let you assume a secure transfer of your credentials - it's only pretended! Repeatedly sniffs shows account and password in cleartext - no https-packet came across...
    The interesting part of the relating http-packet:

    ...
    login=dasbinich&hiddenlogin=Nutzername&hiddenpassword=******&password=geheim000&ssl=on
    HTTP/1.0 302 Found

    ...and so on. Funny, isn't it? Or poor!

    Lycos informed in july 27.

    greetings - fish
