Hi,

I think the concept of being able to speak with various service providers here on Boards.ie is an excellent one.

That said, I notice a couple of them are asking for personal data, much of which would be very sensitive and could aid identidy theft if there was ever a data breach, which begs the question -

Are the Private Messages used on Boards.ie encrypted, much like we see various websites have encrypted sections for things like credit card payments or other personal communications ?

Many thanks.

Thanks,
G.
