Re: Virgin Media Phorm Webwise Adverts [Updated: See Post No. 1, 77, 102 & 797]

Well I haven't posted much on here and only checked the forums today to see if there was any more gossip on 50Mb

I've asked the on-line providers of credit cards and banking I use how they feel about the potential man-in-the-middle attack opportunity that this "Phorm" nonsense represents, given that one of the people at the helm of the company involved is a known spyware author. We'll see

Hopefully, me pointing out that I don't feel I can trust a "session key" when the login page contents are easily obtainable via a potential (inevitable?) man-in-the-middle attack might help. However, I suspect they'll tell me to make sure I have all the latest updates/service packs etc. installed and to reboot my computer if I have any concerns though

Back to paper cheque thingies and queuing up for me I fear
