My town's council website (a subdomain under .GOV.UK no less) has a Security/Privacy policy that proudly states that all data is secured using SSL protocols and that they take security very seriously. Go to the login, forgot password (which invites you to enter a new password and sends a confirmation link to you), or signup pages - all are on plain HTTP. Of course both my browser and my antivirus barf at that, and I have to explicitly override the warnings. I've told them several times now but they don't seem bothered. For one thing, they don't have many people using the online services. I wonder why not...

So what profession do you have that might interest their clients, like your employer?

Their clients (and my client) are all in the meat business, slaughterhouses, butchers, even the breeders.
They deal with (dead) animals, not with IT.
Since it's a multi-million € business that's heavily regulated by the government they can't quite do without IT though, but only the bare minimum.

CAPS have more bits and he can afford them now that he's on high-speed fiber.

Perhaps he can only see CAPS because his screen has too few pixels?

It appears you can type faster now anyway. So there's that.

I don't understand - all I did was whisper softly in her ear "asdfg ... hjkl ... uiop".
She used to love it when I talked Qwerty to her.
