I am getting this error message

Funny. Now I'm not getting it after posting, are you still getting the msg?

Im getting the same message. Are we at risk of getting hacked?

PRguy23 · Post #5 » by **PRguy23** » Today 12:32 am

Our realgm accounts possibly. Nothing else. It means the data being sent is being done via HTTP rather than HTTPS and isn't encrypted or secure.

They need to renew their certificate with digicert

I am getting it too when using a saved favorite or bookmark. Not when I navigate to the site fresh.

Moving this topic here since General Board mods can't answer this question. In general for these kinds of problems, contact Howard Mass or CR Reina. I too am having a problem with the safety certificate.

As long as the powers that be are aware, they can msg them. They just need to renew the certificate. I don't think this site stores credit cards or anything valuable, so it's not a huge deal to me

But sending data in plain text is a security risk

Indicative that nobody maintains this website anymore and all of our passwords are potentially compromised.

the SSL certificate is expired, the domain is not secure. Client-serve communication is not encrypted. How does it work?

I suppose "potentially compromised" is technically true. But given the short period of time the SSL has been expired, the chance that every request has been intercepted is unlikely.

Has anyone been forced to login again?

Nope. I'm not super worried about it, I don't use this password for anything else, but there have been some recent technical issues that lead me to believe the administrators aren't around anymore/don't particularly care about the e-safety of the site's users.

As I understand it the two ways your password could be compromised,

Some registers a new cert and spoofs the site. Has you login and captures your password.

MITM but due to session data , you'd also have to login to have it captured.
