vBulletin Insecure?

Alright so I am sitting here just talking to friends and trying to decide if i should pore-order v4 of vBulletin but i just noticed something that discourages me greatly.. Their order form does not use an SSL certificate. For those who don't know what it is its basically a security feature to protect data that gets entered.

Noticing this makes me wonder if they really care about their clients or if they really do not care what happens to our data. Now I am thinking of going with IPB instead.

Yes i did consider that its because of the site re-design but a company like that should know that client data is important to keep safe and that SSL certificates help and they should have implemented that before they officially released it.

Cheers,
Randy

 

I think your order gets forwarded through paypal - and there is a secure connection.

Not sure why the link isn't pointing to the secure version but I will post it as a bug.

 

Kevin, that may be but so do all other websites but your personal information such as name and stuff should be secured.

Wayne, Alright that makes sense, thanks

 

Wayne, they still don't have a certificate attached to the site. Even though the https link works, FF reports that the data is not encrypted.

 

It should have a certificate. It did before the upgrade. Still reported as a bug and should be rectified. However the site does not collect any credit card information. That is collected on the payment processor sites (Metacharge/Paypoint, Worldpay RBS, and Paypal).

 

Oh, I trust them, and I know that they have a certificate. I'm just pointing out that they didn't install it yet.
