I expect nothing less from Instawallet. Previously, they used to keep private keys in the URL and allowed google to index these URLs. It took a lot of pestering and hand-holding to get this fixed. I should have figured this would have happened sooner or later, given their incompetency regarding security.

- wmf 14y agoThe market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Everybody who tried to "do it right" (TradeHill, CampBX, etc.) seems to have failed while users flock to the joker du jour.
- illuminate 14y agoWouldn't it then be hard to be the joker du jour for long?
- bluetooth 14y agoThat should be your motto all the time, for everything.
