Wow, that's scarey.

A financial company that is plunging into an Internet
based operation and collecting people's private information,
and all they *think* they need is "help in setting up a secure page".

If they're that clueless about security, I'm more concerned
about what happens to the sensitive stuff after it gets past that
"secure page".

Hopefully a persuasive and fully qualified security guru will
respond to this.  Somebody carrying a big cluestick.
