Check out this article on ZDnet...M$ IIS has a security problem and this swede hacker has demonstrated the same...

Here is the Link to the Article (http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-955442.html)

the article also claims that SSL, an industry standard for transmitting credit card numbers and account passwords via the Web...is very easy to break thru'...! true ??

It kind of really stinks !

Well IIS problem is not a surprise as it is microsoft product and anything can come from the Gate factory. Anyhow, the SSL security is really worriesome.

Use UNIX. :) Also there is a problem in a lot of browsers with handling SSL, M$ IE is one of them. Switch to KDE3 :)
