User Info Security

User Info Security was created by pheinrichs
Using the latest Joomla and CB software, how secure is the user registration information (ie. phone #'s and addresses)? Should this be run through an https page or should this even be a concern?

Thanks

What exactly is latest Joomla and CB software - please give version numbers.

https protocol should ensure that your form transmissions are encrypted.

Profile information isn't rendered at all if access isn't permitted. The only issue security wise you'd have is FORM posts being in plaintext, but the same can be said for any website that doesn't use HTTPS. If you want your forms submits encrypted you'll need to setup HTTPS for your site, but it's really not a requirement unless you expect people to be intercepting users data for whatever reason (government sites for example should -always- be HTTPS).
