Security

[xBettyBoopx]

Hello

Tonight when I logged on here, when I put my password in a bubble came up telling me that the site is not secure. Never had that information before. Do you know why and what it means please?

HI xBettyBoopx What device and browser are you using? Sure the address doesnt have https the s standing for secure. Iam on a pc and not had any warning on my device But it would interesting to learn off the tech ppl on here what level of security is on this site. For Eg: Does it use a high level of SSL technology (Secure Socket Layering) how ever because there is a online shop here one would think the level is high HTH Cheers

I have had the same message when i've logged in. It started atleast a week ago for me.

Doesn't feel right , logging in, if there's some sort of risk.

I will ask Alex about this

It may be nothing.

I used to get a security certificate warning when looking at OCD UK. I get a security warning every time I try to access the British National Formulary (BNF) unless I go via the NICE website first.

Yeah it will be something like that Terry - but I think you have to pay for them don't you?

The BNF is still free. It's the new Emedicines site that requires registration from health related people. The warning said my info may be stolen which is a warning I would expect about a reported scammer site. I even had it with Lloyds TSB at one point.

With OCD UK it was just going onto their articles. I know you have to join to access some parts of their forum though.

Sorry Terry I meant you have to pay for a certificate to say your site is safe.

Ah, I misunderstood. Yes, I just assumed they had expired.

I just logged out & back in again and it was fine for me on Android Chrome on a Samsung, in case it helps rule anything out.
