RE: [Full-Disclosure] http://www.chase.com/ vulnerability

The Chase home page has been like this for over a year.  I was a bit
worried after the change, so I just bypassed it.  If you feel more
secure logging in on an SSL page, just do the following:

1.  From the Chase home page, click on the lock icon next to the words
"Access My Accounts"

2.  On the page that appears, click on the "Log On Now" box sitting in
the left border.

3.  You will then arrive at the old login screen with the little golden
lock icon.  Log in and feel secure.

Since Chase changed this page over a year ago, I'm sure we would have
heard something if the Chase site was being exploited.
