POPSIBEW Plus Credit Union using foreign web tracking
Thanks to the Firefox browser and the NoScript plug-in I found IBEW Plus Credit Union is using IndexTools.com to keep activity statistics... even after secure login the script is still showing! Bad enough that any financial institution is using traffic tracking (congratulations to PayPal - they don't), but IBEW Plus is to support local labor unions, particularly the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (ref: http://www.ibewlu357.com/). If you don't know, all U.S. labor unions strongly support "buy American" policies, so why are they using a U.K. company that is apparently based in Budapest, Hungary? The fact that they apparently teamed up with Yahoo a few years back most assuredly doesn't make me any more comfortable. Why the hell does my financial institution need to know what site I was on last, or where I went afterward. They get more than enough of that information from my credit cards. Our online security is endangered enough without adding third parties in
