Hello All,

CFTOKEN AND CFID according to Macromedia's own admission and our own internal testing 
is not secure enought for a web applications where credit card data
and money is involved.  Goto a site like Amazon and notice the session ID they use are 
not a wimpy numeric string, they use a long alpha-numeric string.
CFToken and CFID is so easy to break it is amazing.  First of all most of your 
administrators will be the lower numbered CFID's due to the nature of how
they are handed out, that leaves only the cftoken for security purposes and it being a 
numeric value only is less than secure.

Don't leave yourself open to hacking avoid relying on CFToken and CFID to track secure 
sessions.

Cheers,

Mike Randolph
AbleCommerce, CEO

P.S. We respect our clients data and have never relyed on CFTOKEN and CFID, our 
testing showed them to be way to insecure.  Thats the AbleCommerce
difference...We think, we test, we don't just copy, hack, sell and hope.
