There’s certainly risk, but I don’t think converting all traffic to ssl is worth it to mitigate the risk. I’ve never run into this situation in many years.

- josefx 6y agoMy comment was actually meant to be sarcastic and a bit over the top. The hijacker in this case would be the browser telling me that the page is not secure and as far as I remember valid certs are enforced to the point where a user can't bypass the error in some cases. In my experience https has always been more of a hurdle when I was looking for some obscure information hidden away on barely maintained websites.
- prepend 6y agoI remember where it used to be fun to do stuff like that, or reverse all the images in pages, etc so thought it was a reference to just general monkeying around with http traffic that won’t work with https. I get maybe 20 hits a year so I would probably think it funny if someone was interested enough to do this.
