Kate MacKenzie outlines what Google is doing to make the interwebs more secure by using the popular Loop Insight as an example of what you see in the latest versions of Chrome on Mac and Windows.
www.loopinsight.com is listed as Not Secure.
Uh oh. That can’t be good, right?
Is Loop Insight less secure this week than last week? Probably not, but Google is simply pointing out the obvious– sites with HTTPS and an SSL certificate are more secure. The Not Secure listing does not mean a website has been hacked or your browser has been hacked. All that means is that either one or both could be hacked in some nefarious way because the connection between you, your browser and the website is not protected.
Sites with a padlock in the URL area are more secure than sites without a padlock.
