Unsecure Bank Logins

Unbelievable. Banks, of all entities, having unsecure logins. If the browser lock is missing on your bank’s login page your login information is not secure. SSL, the security part of a login page, encrypts the user name and password -and- makes sure you are talking to your bank and not some other site. So if your bank’s login page shows http:// it is not secure and there is no (SSL) guarantee that you are actually on the bank’s login page - it could be a spoofed login page.
Yes, banks will say your login information is secure but if the lock and https:// is missing then it is not. Period. Note that some banks do have secure login forms but they are not the default. You have to hunt for them.
Here is a list of offending banks
