This article touches on several issues of interest to many here with commercial sites -- especially with how NOT to handle info that should get and stay encrypted.

And one just has to (not) love the company's comment that they can't be held responsibile if they fall prey to some "hacker" that can....drum roll now....read HTML (via view source).

That's just too rich.

"Anyone, feasibly, given enough time and enough resources could hack into any system," said CIO Brad Hill. "We're going to be calling the FBI. Definitely."

Calling in the FBI because someone viewed something publicly accessible on the server? I sincerely hope the FBI laughs in his face.

Is it me or are some of these names suspect?

"Misty Woods, a 20-year-old manager at the Oakwood, Ill., McDonalds"

"Patricia Carr"
