I'm being advised not to visit. Is this genuine or is it bullshit? Anybody else...? |

03 Oct 19 - 02:31 PM (#4011749) Subject: RE: Worrying Mudcat message From: Joe Offer Yeah, the security certificate has to be renewed. Since you know the Website, you should be pretty safe. But if I were going to a Website I didn't know, I would be more concerned. But I sent Max notice of the matter. -Joe- |

From: punkfolkrocker Check if a site's connection is secure To see whether a website is safe to visit, you can check for security info about the site. Chrome will alert you if you can’t visit the site safely or privately. In Chrome, open a page. To check a site's security, to the left of the web address, look at the security status: Lock Secure View site information Info or Not secure Dangerous Not secure or Dangerous To see the site's details and permissions, select the icon. You'll see a summary of how private Chrome thinks the connection is. What each security symbol means These symbols let you know how safe it is to visit and use a site. They tell you if a site has a security certificate, if Chrome trusts that certificate, and if Chrome has a private connection with a site. Lock Secure View site informationInfo or Not secure Dangerous Not secure or Dangerous Fix "Your connection is not private" error If you see a full-page error message saying "Your connection is not private," then there's a problem with the site, the network, or your device. Learn how to troubleshoot "Your connection is not private" errors. What a security certificate is When you go to a site that uses HTTPS (connection security), the website's server uses a certificate to prove the website's identity to browsers, like Chrome. Anyone can create a certificate claiming to be whatever website they want. To help you stay on safe on the web, Chrome requires websites to use certificates from trusted organizations.

03 Oct 19 - 03:15 PM (#4011758) Subject: RE: Worrying Mudcat message From: keberoxu Thanks, Max, for fixing it. I too could not get in using Google Chrome. By the time I switched browsers and tried going to the site on Firefox, the problem was fixed. |

03 Oct 19 - 05:43 PM (#4011783) Subject: RE: Worrying Mudcat message From: Steve Shaw Can we put this to bed? Just a suggestion... |

03 Oct 19 - 05:48 PM (#4011784) Subject: RE: Worrying Mudcat message From: WalkaboutsVerse ...could happen again, Steve, so I feel that is a sensible question. |

03 Oct 19 - 05:53 PM (#4011786) Subject: RE: Worrying Mudcat message From: GUEST,Starship If you got the message when you tried to enter Mudcat, then your security feature is working, and if a link from that message had been trying to access your machine the same security would have blocked that too. It's done, handled, finished, over. Move on. |

03 Oct 19 - 05:56 PM (#4011787) Subject: RE: Worrying Mudcat message From: punkfolkrocker "...was there harm in clicking on one of the links in the message?" Well I clicked it a few times, but then thought it sensible to immediately wash my hands with disinfectant... So far no adverse reactions... .. maybe a little more flatulence than usual...??? |
