Irish Airline Not Concerned About Online Security
from the don't-hack-until-Wednesday... dept
This is quite a story. It seems that Irish airline Ryanair is asking anyone applying for a job to apply over their website. That's not a problem. However, they're also requiring a £50 payment, which requires a credit card. The problem is that all this information is sent through a simple, non-secure email form. The folks at Ryanair dismiss this, saying that they'll have it secure sometime next week. In the meantime, plenty of people are still applying, so they don't see what the big deal is.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
