Lucky I've been using the address down the street this whole time. wink

Of course, banning those protocols altogether is overstating things. Most of what I read on the net does not need to be private. I also can understand companies who understand that ease of use is much more important to their success or failure than whether they offer secure protocols. If being secure becomes a competitive advantage, then Google will transition their services in record time.

Good luck getting Aunt Bessie to understand the issue, 'cause just scaring her isn't going to get her to ask for SSL encryption.
