Well I think you are talking about two things. The security of the members area (only access to that may leak) and of the payment process (credit card data may leak). The first one isn't a really big threat and mainly for the owner of the site, not the subscriber. The second one is possibly dangerous. As for the sites I've joined or bought from, they tend to use mainstream credit card processors, which are safe as can be - for instance PayPal, CCBill or Verotel, but there are many more of these. Some older sites use their own (or friendly small company) credit card processors, like The Mothership, which may not have the security of the large ones, but I don't recall there has ever been a leak, so I wouldn't worry about these either. I've been on this forum (well, at first the Bravenet forum) since... 1998. Joined/bought from almost all pay sites since then. I'm even on some less than friendly terms with a few (unrelated dispute). But aI've never had a leak of any information in all this time. So IMHO you really don"t have to worry about such issues, just join the site you want to join. Wetlook producers are small and off the radar for hacker groups etc, so they are less likely to be hacked than your bank or email, even if they have way less security...

Discussion Starter With Producers - Insecure Logins To Wetlook Websites

Website:

The Firefox browser, starting with version 52, has a new security feature - it warns users if logging into a site could be potentially unsecure by showing a grey box.You can read about it here:

https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Protect-your-privacy/Insecure-password-warning-in-Firefox/ta-p/27861

Firefox used a crossed out padlock to warn about insecure sites before, but this new system is better, because it can't be overlooked so easily.

I did a quick survey on a small sample of wetlook sites and was surprised how many of them used unsecure pages for login and some even for entering credit card information!! Results below:

Wamphotography - exemplary security - this website uses a secure page both for login to the site and payments, a positive example to follow!

Wetfemme.com - a gross disregard of all security measures, even the page on which you enter the payment details is a plain http page, not an https!!!

Wamderland.net - registering for an account is on an http page, not a secure https, login could be compromised, I didn't go further to check the payment process

Eurowam.net - seems to be a secure page on their payment processors website for payment, I didn't test the member login as I am not a member

Wetfoto com - logging in to the website is not secure - credentials potentially compromised, https not used for login, payment secure through their payment processors

Mostwam.tv - loggin to the site not secure, not https, payment is not secure, no https used, credit card details could be compromised!!!

Soakingwet.co.uk - the download store uses a secure page for payments through their payment processor

Wetlookadventure.com - login to site not secure, no https, payment secure through their payment processors

I meant this post as a discussion starter, so I would like to hear from the producers what they think about this issue, especially on those sites where the payment details are entered on insecure pages, about the practical implications, if there are any. Thank you.
