Internet provider website not secure
In front of the address for my Internet provider, there is an 'i' in a circle. When I click on that, it tells me that the site is not secure. The Internet provider cannot figure it out nor can techs from Best Buy and Norton who have looked at this problem. This has been going on for a long time. I feel that this needs to be corrected, but I have not been able to get a solution. Thanks for any good ideas!

Re: Internet provider website not secure
I am amazed that people who should be tech savvy were unable to figure this out. It simply means that your connection to the website is not private because the site is not using encryption (SSL or TLS). The browser gives this warning to alert you that it might be risky to enter any personal information on the website, such as passwords or credit card numbers, as it could be intercepted and read by a third-party. It is strictly a privacy concern and has nothing to do with anything malicious. You should never enter sensitive information on any website that does not start with "https:". The "s" means "secure." Other than that, there is absolutely no extra danger in visiting unencrypted sites and there is nothing that needs correction -- unless of course, in bjm_'s case, Fox News is requesting that you give them sensitive personal information, in which case it is up to them to use an encrypted connection for your protection.

Norton Fighter: Thanks for explaining this to me. You have relieved my mind. I still don't get why an Internet provider wouldn't have a secure site.
