Hmmm, stop talking shit, Integrity, so it getting there at all is
included in that which is far less likely with a SSL enabled server
which is far easier to amplify DDOS against? On top of that DDOS is far
more likely due to it's constant use in the wild than targetted info
poisoning especially when the user could be at anyone's house!! MITM
(ignoring shitty ISPS) is far less likely than you think too!
