you can't verify a site is secure by only using standard automated test tools - sure, they're great for capturing obvious stuff, but to really prove a web service is secure requires a willingness to actually break the service, and a proper audit of the source code by experienced security-aware *independent* programmers. if these people have, or ever will, issue a kitemark to a service running on any form of windows, then they're charlatans!

And SiteAdvisor claimed it to be all kosher. I (naturally) filed a report with SiteAdvisor - which apparently was rejected, as it simply disappeared from the system within a couple of weeks. Needless to say - I abandoned SiteAdvisor shortly after... The period for commenting on this story has finished |
