> FTP (use scp instead)
> POP (use SSH+POP instead)
> IMAP (use IMAP+stunnel instead)
> Kazaa (nufsed)
> Clear-text IM services (use Jabber+SSL instead)
The value of a "bottom ten" list is extremely limited,
IMNSHO, unless it includes alternative recommendations.
The list doesn't have to be exhaustive, and there are
exceptions such as Kazaa, but for business-critical
functions like web and email, it does no good to warn
about specific implementations unless you also indicate
that more-secure alternatives exist.
Jay's offerings above set an excellent example.
