  11. Re:but realistically on Websites Still Failing Basic Privacy Practices · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the cert tell me that the site I'm entering my card details into is the one I want and that my dns hasn't been altered? Yes at the end of the day it's my banks problem if my card gets used fraudulently - But i can't be arsed with having to go through the whole process of telling the bank i didn't buy flights or a flat screen tv. As for the janitors and chair fixers - How likely is it they will have access to my details? Cd-Wow and lovefilm who supply them with rentals are large(ish) companies who shouldn't have expired certs.

    my online dvd rental company (dvdrental.cd-wow.com) emailed me to tell me i needed to update my credit card details - my card runs out at the end of the month. Their ssl cert ran out the end of July. When i contacted them to tell them this they basically said "Don't worry about it, it's all secure, your details don't leave the uk" etc.

    As i'll be adding new card info they won't be getting my business until it's fixed...
