A Needed Correction on MobileMe Security

Fanboys kill. Or at least contribute to the sum of human ignorance. a good takedown of some egregious securitybabble posted to AppleInsider:

“AppleInsider.com posted an article today claiming the lack of SSL on MobileMe has caused ‘unnecessary panic’ and MobileMe is in fact secure. This is 100% false.

“I’m not sure what to make of the article. I feel like the author said a bunch of big words hoping that most people would assume he knew what he was talking about and move on.”

That’s the long and short of it. The ensuing breakdown is worth paying attention to, especially if you’ve ever stopped to wonder if there’s a difference between an encrypted login and an encrypted session.
