SLAP not secure? (no http)
« on: February 09, 2017, 07:03:24 AM »
i just started noticing in my URL bar that when I navigate to SLAP, it shows a message of "not secure" to the left and when I highlight the whole URL, there is no http. Not that I'm especially worried that I'm going to be hacked or something on a skateboard message board. Is this a recent development, or have I just been oblivious?

but it does have http:// in it in the link to the slap board
just no https://which means that a connection is secure
via some additional code that is used to encrypt the data

SLAP does not have an SSL certificate, so it's not a HTTPS url.

So yes, it's technically not secure. But unless you have tons of available personal info here then I wouldn't worry.
