To all,

This is an open question to all -

What are the security risks of the following: I got a call from a recruiter
and they wanted me to go to their website, to take a some type of
proficiency test, and one of the fields asked for my Social Security Number.
I looked at the page and could not find anything to signify that this was a
secure website. No 'https://' or lock icon. I called them back and asked the
recruiter if they were aware that they were asking for pertinent information
on an unsecured website. They stated that they did this all the time. I
pointed out that if I entered my Social Security Number on that page and
submitted it that it would be sent over the Internet unencrypted and
unsecure.

What is your take and how should I go about to have them correct this?
