Hello all,

I ran accross an article that was just so interesting.  I found something
that I did not know but I feel is very important if you design sites for
people.  It has to do with site security.  Alot of you may already
be aware of this, but I was not, and this is for those of you who
are not aware.  It is something i felt needed to be shared, and could
benifite us all.  I am sure this is ok for this list since it is for
techniques
and this explains ways to improve security on site ever so slightly.

It has to do with site security and hackers having the ability to insert
malicious code into forms?  I didn't know this could happen, so I was
very surprised.  I shouldn't be, nothing should surprise me, but I guess
I just don't understand the reasoning behind hacking.  Anyway this
article explains it and gives tips on preventing it.  Interesting read.

If this can improve on our skills then so be it.

Sincerely,

Nancy
