Default SSL has been broken.
SSL, the thing that makes sure you are safe while buying stuff online, has been broken. Which means everything you send using SSL 1.0 or earlier, is now easily intercepted and read.

Hackers break SSL encryption used by millions of sites ? The Register

Which reminds me to bring this up again. 2 step verification.

Saw that - lol. Buy! Buy! Buy!

*muhahahahahahah...er, I mean, sure, it's safe!"

I've always said that the only truly safe computers are the ones that are completely disconnected from any outside connections. I wonder if some people who argued that SSL was safe against me 4 years ago are ready to eat crow?

Nothing.is safe. Everything released as safe simply hasn't been hacked yet
