Is the ethernet connection to home from ISP is secure for Bank and
on-line transaction using Credit cards?. We are getting LAN connection
from a small ISP to home (I think they are using a hub, through that
giving connections to multiple homes), Is that secure for on-line
transaction, I am worrying about password theft and all?. Does Browser
take care about encryption I believe.
Thanks.

The internet is not secure. That's why browsers use encryption, when
connected to secure sites. Check to make sure that the "lock" at the
bottom of the screen is closed.

Unfortunately the lock can be deceptive. The lock does not protect
against the possibility that a FORM or URL on the page use insecure
transmission protocols. You need something closer to a tooltip- lock,
that shows whether the particular part of the page you are at is secure
[and even then I would worry about javascript reading out the "secure"
section and reimplimenting it as insecure...]

By default, Yahoo does NOT use a secure connection for their logins, but
you select a secure login by following the "secure" link below the login
boxes..
