Bob Angus | 18 Dec 2012 | 0 comments

Ecommerce sites always need to make sure that they and their users are secured. Installing VeriSign extended validation SSL and displaying the VeriSign seal are two proven actions that can be taken.

However, those key steps are only part of the total security solution for online retailers.

That news calls to mind an incident of about a month ago, when the FTC's departing commissioner called on popular online services such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Flickr, Facebook, MySpace, and financial providers to protect 100% of their service with SSL, and not just login pages as is the common practice today. In her speech commissioner Pamela Jones Harbour stated,

Encryption technology is already built into every popular web browser, but here is an unpleasant truth. Many popular services employ encryption technology...
