  IE doesn't lock down
Time: 09:41 EST/14:41 GMT | News Source: InfoWorld | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Thanks Scott: WE'VE SPENT years teaching users that their passwords and credit card numbers are secure on the Web as long as a little lock icon appears in the status bar of their browser windows. Now it turns out that this isn't true. Microsoft Internet Explorer Versions 5.0 (released in 1999), 5.5, and today's 6.0 don't fully support SSL, according to Mike Benham, a white-hat security expert. SSL is the security technology that the lock icon visually assures us is enabled.
