I wish people would stop equating "secure" with "HTTPS".

  That's not what's done. "No HTTPS" is equated with "non secure".

    He also claims that Quantas "secured their site" by adding HTTPS to their login page, and that serving sites over HTTPS is "secure by default"

      This is true. I can intercept your username/password during login by being in close proximity to you if you are logging into their website over plaintext HTTP. Not possible if it is protected by TLS (HTTPS).

  Well that's what the S in HTTPS stands for. I am pretty sure that anybody who knows the difference between HTTP and HTTPS also knows that "security" is not binary.

    Since this guy is equating "secure" with "HTTPS" in some of his statements, would you say that he does not understand that security is not binary?
