<h1 class="title">Your connection is not secure
?? </h1><h1 class="title">"The owner of forums.pepipoo.com has configured their web site improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this web site."</h1> <h1 class="title">"How to troubleshoot the error code "SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER" on secure websites</h1> On websites which are supposed to be secure (the URL begins with "https://"), Firefox must verify that the certificate presented by the website is valid. If the certificate cannot be validated, Firefox will stop the connection to the website and show a "Your connection is not secure" error message instead. This article explains why you might see the error code "SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER" on websites and how to troubleshoot it." |

That would be because Fredd has nothing new to add to his previous comments on this subject.
![]() In short, there's little point in encrypting information that has no value to anyone who might have the means, motive and opportunity to intercept it and is publicly accessible once it's been posted anyway. -------------------- Regards,

I must have missed those comments somewhere else other than these 6 merged threads then ![]() ![]() Well you've missed the "not secure" warnings that just about every browser has been displaying for the last 6 months or so, so probably you have. ![]() -------------------- Regards,

Doesn't that create a risk to non-public information like PMs, passwords, email addresses etc? -------------------- If you would like assistance with a penalty charge notice, please post a thread on https://www.ftla.uk/index.php

Personally, setting HTTPS up with something like letsencrypt may well help indirectly - Google tends to rank such sites higher up, and most servers only support faster protocols such as HTTP/2 for connections using certificates.
Of course, people shouldn't be reusing passwords across sites, however that is always going to be an issue if you use HTTP or not regardless.... |

Hi Guys,
I really appreciate what you do here, there's some great advice and a lot of people successfully won against these disgusting parking cowboys. However, I work in cybersecurity and have identified a couple of critical security vulnerabilities with your forum which need addressing as a matter of urgency. I'm sorry to post this publicly, but I can't find any way to contact the owners. Please let me know how I can get in contact with whoever is responsible for this forum to discuss this, I'd be more than happy to assist. Thanks |
