I don't know how many of you reading this have ever tried switching to HTTPS on this site (mybroadband.co.za). For such a high profile site, I find it unacceptable that it does not work over HTTPS and do so by default.

I don't see the need for it either. Other than vB there's nothing else running here, and I don't see why the communication between me and the server needs to be encrypted.
 
With 9 posts under your belt I find it unacceptable to give a rats ass what you think.

If that is your default position on the matter, don't allow others to adjust your stance. Don't ever visit again as the security level here fails to meet your agency's specifications for the exchange of the highly classified, sensitive material you wish to exchange. You could easily suffer a data breach resulting in your cover being blown.
 
Can confirm, your privacy has been comprimised. I can Google your name and find this thread. Just like all other information on this forum. But then at least most of us can hide in the private forums.
 
Interested to know what facebook.mybroadband.co.za was supposed to be now.
 
We are aware he is currently offline. When will his password be made public? Anyone manage to get his ATM pin?

What exactly do you want to encrypt? The mindless drivel we post day in and day out? Is someone monitoring your MyBB traffic, specifically?
 
The only page that needs to be secure is the login. That would be an issue with the site because there is a login bar on top of each page.
 
What, so when I post my c/card details here on the forum its not secure? *outraged*

Nope it doesn't. It should though.

Decided to see what happens when you submit login credentials, this is what's in the request:

Code: 
vb_login_username=fudzy&vb_login_password_hint=Password&vb_login_password=&s=&securitytoken=1******922-379b8f*********735353a4a6&do=login&vb_login_md5password=d07******d9bd******44d885&vb_login_md5password_utf=d07*************4d885

Your point is valid, but it’s important that even drivel is encrypted. If only material worthy of encryption is encrypted, it attracts attention. Encryption should become ubiquitous. The NSA would foam at the mouth with rage.

The NSA provided a lot of the encryption keys anyway. ;)

Not really....

The have more than their own fair share of MoM systems.. and most ppl are still using TLS 1.0 which is about as secure as shouting whatever you're posting from the roof tops.
