Great example of poor coding and carelessness...VegNews.com
Trying to register for a launch party at VegNews I come across this (from google site cache)
google site cache of insecure page
Problems
1. No SSL, ssl not supported if you change the URL manually.
2. Lies about being secure, right there on the form. Nope.
3. The "action" points to an email *FormMailer* (http://vegnews.com/cgi-bin/SaveForm.pl).
So, not only does it lie about encrypting your credit card, it goes and emails it out afterward to who-knows-where to sit in personal archives for who-knows-how-long.
Suffice to say I didn't attend, but I'm still pissed I almost fell victim to that.
