CNN on "New threat to the net."

I just had CNN on for background noise. They did a one minute piece on a new threat to the internet. HACKERS. Bizdos for some reason was on it and they went slightly into why transmitting credit card numbers as plain text was stupid. Their estimate is that encryption is at least five years away. Just amazing... BTW- they recommended that everyone install routers to hinder hackers. Check it out...it was on headline news so it probably will be repeated every half hour. Sam
