UK Universities Caught With Weak SSL Security 40
judgecorp writes "UK Universities have been found using weak SSL security implementations on their websites. An investigation by TechWeekEurope found 17 of the top 50 British universities scored C or worse on the SSL Labs tool launched by the Trustworthy Internet Movement earlier this year, which grades SSL security. Contacted by the site, most have put upgrades in place to improve security."

In the end, Unis don't want web services to be their core business.
Where once Sysadmins managed the web, now it is run by project managers,
consultants, standardised, virtualised, outsourced or offshored.
The nerds get marginalised and the job gets dumbed down.
Quality falls, hilarity ensues. Everybody dies.
