DigitAl56K writes “Large companies still can’t seem to get the basics of
privacy and security on the Web pulled together. Today I went to enter a
[0]competition from Duracell to win a Nintendo Wii by filling out an
online form. It requires entering your full name, address, and date of
birth, and then proceeds to submit it via an unencrypted HTTP POST. The
ultimate irony is the message at the bottom of the page that reads: ‘Trust
is a cornerstone of our corporate mission, and the success of our
business depends on it. P&G is committed to maintaining your trust by
protecting personal information we collect.’ Which websites have you
found to be lacking in their basic privacy practices?”
