Very nice article.
However, some very heavy firepower was glossed over.. TLS/HTTPS gave us the power to actually buy things and share secrets. The WWW would not be anywhere near this level of commercialized if we didn't have that in place.

For a long time, the standard was that tls was only ever on the credit card submission page. I remember when "finding vulnerabilities" often mean viewing source and noting it still submitted to a uardcoded http page.
Yeah... seriously surprised more services didn't go HTTPS only just for a simpler setup... the redirects/posts etc were always a mess. I know early/pre 00's hardware had more overhead for https, but even then.
