Suspicious Link

Post by Schmammy » Sun Sep 09, 2018 11:09 am

This link to information about adding images to a post attributed to Kelvin led me to an alert about suspicious activity.

There is nothing wrong with the link. But the SSL certificate has expired hence the error in this instance it is safe to acknowledge the security warning and visit the site if you need too

We know the owner of that website. He is a forum member.
It's a good website...nothing bad on it. The problem is that he hasn't updated his security certificate for some reason and all the browsers are freaking out.
We have attempted to contact Kelvin (the owner of the website) but so far haven't heard anything back from him.
We are hoping that nothing serious has happened to him.

In the meantime if your browser will let you go ahead and ignore the warning ...you can do that. There is nothing bad there at all.
All it contains is various information explaining some stuff.

The only thing wrong with the link is that the encrypted communicatio certificate (the SSL certificate) expired. Were the site an e-commerce site or other site where you enter passwords or sensitive personal information, that could be a sign that someone was intercepting traffic. But on an information site, encrypted traffic isn't really necessary and the scary browser warnings are a bit excessive. But, that being said, you shouldn't get in the habit of just ignoring such warnings.
