I just got my 1099 form from Cutcaster. Better late than never, I guess.
Upon saving it to my computer I realized that all I had to do to access it was click on a link to a PDF file in an email. I'm no web security expert but doesn't this seem sort of non-secure? The file URL is a standard http (not https) and I didn't have to log in to view it. Just click the link and there it goes.
If anyone were to gain access to my email they could easily see this form and my Social Security Number. Not to mention the possibility of someone being able to somehow access this non-secure directory on the Cutcaster website and potentially get lots of SSNs complete with names, addresses, etc.
