Hi Dave,

Yes, I do mean SSL encryption.

However, the issue is not so much hacking into a QSL site. These days, so many sites need logins and passwords that people lose track of which site needs which combination. Thus, they simplify things and use the same login/password for everything. Therefore, a login/password combination from someone logging into eQSL could be captured and used on a more interesting (or lucrative) site which already uses SSL and would not normally be visible.

This scenario and how easily it could be done could produce a lengthy debate. At the end of the day though, if someone asked you nicely, would you do it? :-)

Are there any plans to support a secure login into eQSL? Of course, the security conscious LoTW had it from day 1 but I notice that Yahoo now defaults to a secure login with an option for normal login. This is new and directly opposite what they have had all along.
