What I like the most are the following quotes:
>>
Security experts said people should not be concerned about giving their credit card details on sites using SSL.

"This attack is not applicable to web shopping and there are much easier ways that fraudsters steal credit card information ," said Paul Kocher, President & Chief Scientist of Cryptography Research, in a posting to the technology website Slashdot.

lol, thats funny. The story shows that SSL has a vulnerability and then they contradict it by saying you shouldn't be concerned about SSL security issues. Yea, who knows maybe there are some easier ways. I wonder how the millions of CC numbers got hacked recently.
