Comment on American Express fails miserably at basic securityparent

Comments

Really, just an ad?

Amex's lack of security is no less interesting if it's discovered by a competitor. It's a pretty serious mistake by an organization you would expect to be more careful and knowledgeable about these things.

True, but read the comments. The organization reporting this is little better. ("Encrypted on the client" - which means they would be horribly exposed to man-in-the-middle attacks...)
