Internet Explorer is Secure?

[Dennis]

Not when it allows a credit card number to be broadcast over the internet on

a non encrypted page!

First - when did it do that?

Second - how did it do that?

Third - where is the link to the proof it did that?



Commentary:



Sounds like a personal mistake where likely the end-user and site is to

blame and not the web browser of choice - after all - how would any web

browser know you were typing in a 16 digit Credit Card number versus a 16

digit ID number or a random 16 character digit or whatever?



If someone does a stupid thing, makes a stupid choice, etc - how does that

become something else's fault?



Anyway - maybe you will enighten with actual details - otherwise - decent

troll, but that's about it.
