I read a poll published Oct 27, 2004 from Bentley College that states "49 percent of internet users are not aware of security flaws in Internet browsers"(see: http://www.bentley.edu/news-events/pr_view.cfm?id=1648 ). Further, "48 percent are rarely sure or are unsure that sensitive information is encrypted before transmitting it over the Internet". I'm sure that these figures have changed slightly since the end of 2004, but I don't think public awareness of Internet security issues has significantly changed. Very few Internet business even address browser security issues beyond general warnings and, for the most part, web publishers seem dependent on tracking tools to target potential customers or deliver targeted ads.
My question is :
What sites on the Internet are you aware of that actively combat caching and promote Internet privacy and security?
