Security and Windows do not belong in the same sentence ! :)

You just used them together on one!

I thought I'd post the following email just received from the
webmaster at DVD Pacific, regarding security issues:

We have taken steps to seriously bolster security in place at our
web server

script access. Finally yesterday we also installed SecureIIST Web
Server Protection. Developed specifically for Windows-based web
servers, SecureIIS operates within Microsoft's IIS and actively
inspects all incoming requests at each stage of data processing to
prevent potentially harmful network traffic - whether encrypted or
unencrypted - from penetrating our servers. The server is now
protected from damaging "known" and "unknown" attack attempts.
SecureIIS does not rely on a database of attack signatures, and
protects Microsoft servers by intelligently blocking entire classes
of attack methods.

Security and Windows based web servers ????

Ya gotta be kidding... Security and Windows do not belong in the same
sentence ! :)

you just did.

also, the sentence could include the word, 'worst' ;-)

You believe they're 'the safest e-commerce site online' because you
personally haven't had false CC charges show up after using them? How
scientific.

Well, I do. I have used them countless times (twice already this month)
and nothing. Nada. I have been reading complaints for weeks over this
and have been expecting to be hit. Bot, no. So, who do you explain that?

Personally, I see DVD Pacific's responses as amateurish; especially the
blaming of customers, pointing fingers and posting of misinformation to
public forums.

It has confirmed what I have suspected for a while now - that many of
these "Internet DVD megastores" are under-skilled and ill-prepared for
running a secure, high-traffic online store. And especially for
responding to a crisis such as this. It simply isn't a matter of
getting a friend to do a site for you and hoping for the best.

And which secure, high-traffic online store do you run?
