Straighterline security holes - no SSL/TLS encryption?!?!
#12
I will only argue to say that they do store personal information, and for that they have a legal obligation to protect it. Luckily they don't store SSN and CC#'s because yes they do link to someone else for CC# or Paypal.

But it depends on their supplier link for PCI DSS compliance. If you chose paypal, sure they are level 1 compliance, but what if it's some cut rate company doing less than 1M transactions a year, then they only need to put ACL's to isolate the "pay" network from the rest of the systems. That's it for level 4, and level 3 not much tougher, both of which I have personally never once seen an audit for.

So I am going to stand my ground and say, they won't get any money from me until its SSL from login to logout, and as was mentioned its not that difficult, I was doing that stuff over 10 years ago when it wasn't so easy like today.
