I would assume the connection is not secure unless Verizon claims some kind of encryption. However, when the connection is to a secure website (i.e. one whose URL begins https://) then your browser and the website cooperate to make a connection that is secured by encrypting their transmissions.

Their system is "about" as secure as you can get. The encryption would take a lot of time and computing power to unlock, and then their system would have already changed the coding. In otherwords, someone trying to see your info, would have to find the encryption key and decipher it.. all within a short period of time. By the time the hacker does all of this "work" the code would have already been changed. We use this system in our business where it must be secure.
I agree with Paul... https: (or SSL) will work fine when working with banking etc.
