SSL should never have been taken as the only requirement for making http communications secure. IMHO, once you send off any piece of information (your personal data, files, photos, videos, etc), you can never know where they end up unless you have encrypted them yourself and they always exist in encrypted form outside of your computer. Data security is really an insurance product, you only know how good it is when something goes wrong. Slightly off-topic of this article but Cloud security is all the rage these days. Either you set up some sort of app/gateway to encrypt all data which goes to the Cloud for archiving and/or processing and decrypt it when it comes back for viewing/updating/consuming etc OR you buy into the illusion of data security on the Cloud.
