RE: security questions

[Brandon Kim <brandon.kim () brandontek com>]

Yup, what Larry said.....I wouldn't be too concerned about it. But some managers may make a big deal...

Some sites use images located at a different webserver that isn't HTTPS, and sometimes there are
hidden iframes that bring you info from non-secure sites. But the actual login is posted to an HTTPS server.


Hope that helps.
