But you don't even use HTTPS. Why?
- amelius 9y agoBecause the information was meant to be public anyway?
- kbart 9y agoTheir "download" page is also HTTP which is a bit more concerning. Pretty sloppy for a company that provides security tools imho.
- positivecomment 9y agoThis is the infamous "nothing to hide" argument in a different form.
- borplk 9y agoThere are countless other benefits to having HTTPS (such as ensuring the end-to-end integrity of the communication so stuff can't be injected in the document). It's not meant only for private information.
- syncsynchalt 9y agoNot using https means that your ISP, your mobile carrier, or your airport network provider can modify the information being presented to you. This is not a hypothetical, it happens all the time (though usually just to inject ads). It's not about whether the provider wants the information to be public, it's about whether the provider wants the information to arrive intact.
