Pretty amazing that sites with such high daily revenue (close to UK 7000/day, just for IE) either weren't testing their checkout process in IE or didn't ever wonder "gee why am I getting this 'insecure content' popup and how can it be fixed?".
- jseifer 16y agoNot to mention that there were almost certainly people who did see that pop-up and entered their credit card details anyway.

- nandemo 16y agoThat's what I thought: they didn't need analytics, they could have prevented the problem with plain old testing. Unfortunately, if you were a tester/SDET and caught that bug, you wouldn't be able to claim you saved the company half a million dollars.
