Is this website secure?

[jfunk]

Okay, I don't know anything about this, but is there any way that this plain HTML page has any security in it at all?

They are asking people for all their personal info, including credit card number to sign up for this thing. I was just curious cause I got this email from these people today and just checked out the site.

If you're in IE you should see a lock icon appear in lower left of your browser. That indicates it's "secure".

Its not encrypted if thats what you mean

It's also not html, but php instead.

Look at the properties, its HTML.

actually, it's ASP. The HTML page takes the information and pass it to the ASP page. Hmm.. as for secure, not sure about that it uses non-SSL method to send the pages.

It sends the cc information over a non-encrypted link. There would be no way you would get me to enter any information in there.

You can force the final signup page to become secure by changing http to https in the address bar, but I didn't check the level of encryption. Beyond that, I can't say one way or another.

If you change http to https it become a RC4 128-bit encrypted SSL site, but just the fact that you can get to it via non-SSL makes me wonder.
