Think SSL encryption is safe? Think again!

John Bambenek of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign writes about the new Russian Gozi Trojan

"Until we find a way to get consumer PCs secure, or better yet, find a way for private financial data to be transmitted through a PC without the untrusted PC being able to compromise it, no electronic financial transaction will be secure. If the home PC isn't secure, all the encryption in the world won't help."
