Should login pages be secured (https)? A bank has a login page that has
account holders log in with their user ID and password on an unsecured (http)
page.
This goes to a secure site (https). A bank staff person told me that the log
in page need not be secure. Is that correct?
Thanks,
If you view the HTML, the form is probably being sent to the server
running SSL. You will see something like:
form action=https://blah.blah.com;
other form stuff here...
/form
As long as the form data is being sent via SSL, all of your form data is
secure.

But I think the point that someone else made is really important.
Starting from a page that a layman can't visibly tell will be secure
doesn't help the general public know what is safe and what's not.

For use with Windows newer OS's, NTFS is the choice.
The reason external drives come formatted as fat32 now is to promote
compatibility/ read-ability with other operating systems. I can't
remember the tech particulars of this but maybe someone else can provide
them.

Per Steve Gibson, NTFS is more secure because of journaling. If something
happens, it’s able to roll back to a point where the hard drive and file system
