Starbucks.com isn't https and asks for credit card # to retrieve payment history
starbucks.com
starbucks.com
Should it still be secure? Sure, why not.
Would somebody go through the effort to hack Starbucks to get gift card numbers? I don't think you can even use just the numbers, you have to have the physical card and if you lose it you lose what was on it ("Treat this card like cash")
1. The language just says "Card number" and that they ask for security code I would think most people would assume means credit card number as one wouldn't think a Starbucks code would have a security code.
2. Many people only use the Starbucks app so most of their interaction with a Starbuck's "card" is using their credit card which they use to refuel the app.
Having many people mistakenly enter their credit card into this form is very, very bad and can be easily avoided by adding one word to the page: "Starbucks" vs "Credit" card. In general, a pretty terrible oversight.
With all the discussions revolving around the more advanced side of SSL for non PII something like this, which violates PCI and other requirements, simply goes unnoticed.
I wonder if the person deploying this warned the company and the higher ups just ignoring him/her...
Still should be SSL though.
