Board Security?
My Safari browser now gives me a notice that this site is not secure. So I this is why last post here, for at least a while. Snailgate
Re: Board Security?
I'm pretty sure that only means that the website is not encrypted, which really means nothing unless you share personal information like a credit card number.
Re: Board Security?
I know that the site has had some self-esteem issues in the past, but I believe it worked those out in group, so I don't think it would be accurate any longer to call it insecure...this site is not secure

Re: Board Security?
I have Safari, Chrome and Firefox and none them warn me. How come Safari warns SG? What does his Safari know that mine doesn't? Maybe my Safari knows but has decided not to tell me.
My Safari hates me. My Safari wants to kill me!
Mr Gates warned me and I didn't listen. Sob. This may be my last post. If I don't come back will someone please sue Apple on behalf of my family. You can have 10% of what you get. They are now worth a trillion dollars so they won't miss a bill or two. Thanks.

Re: Board Security?
Safari has alway had issues with “security certificates”. And claiming they are out of date when they’re not.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
Re: Board Security?
My Safari is mum on this issue, too - same as my Chrome.

Chrome should say "not secure" at the far left of the address bar, just as a warning not to enter stuff like credit card numbers.

Re: Board Security?
Hmm, my browser doesn't won't tell me, but instead asks me to make the decision:
Maybe I should upgrade.

GAH!

As often is my lot in life here at Plan B, I have to be the humorless voice of reason once again. For the second time in this thread, I must reassure Mr Snailgate Petard that the only time an "Insecure Connection" on your computer should be a concern is when you are revealing personal information, such as your SSN, PIN or actual penis size.
Relax. Nobody here will share any of that information with anyone else.

I feel you may have skipped town before investigating the accuracy of the notice. You might want to dump your Safari browser and install Chrome or Firefox. Maybe that will make you feel a bit more secure.

Removing the Alert From Your Web Browser:
If you see this message in your web browser, follow the instructions below to clear this threat:
1. Reset Your Browser
2. Force Quit and Restart Browser
3. Delete Safari Preferences Manually
4. What To Do If You Called the Phone Number
5. Protect Your Computer From Future Attacks
6. Contact Intego Support
Maybe I'm being overly cynical (or suspicious), but how do we know we can trust Intego support? For all we know, they could be scammers or crooks themselves, pulling a modern version of the 'pigeon drop' con — that's the routine that 'Luther' (Robert Earl Jones) and 'Hooker' (Robert Redford) pulled on the numbers runner in the opening of "The Sting" — posing as a well-meaning 'friend' who then, having gained your confidence, gently steers you into their own spider's web.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
Re: Board Security?
Just to be sure, can you PM me your credit card details, name, age, address, and your mother's maiden name, and I'll keep them secure for you.
