The Washington Post reports that the site has failed to adhere to basic web security protocols for the past few years. As a result, anyone snooping on internet traffic could easily find the location and identity of someone searching for HIV testing facilities or other services. The culprit is encryption — or rather, the lack thereof. AIDS.gov and another similar government site offering HIV assistance has not used SSL encryption to maintain its users’ privacy.”
