An image of a flag made our Travel website lose HTTPS status – Computicket
A MyBroadband reader recently contacted us to state that when he was in the process of booking a ticket on Computicket Travel’s website, he noticed the payment page was not displaying as HTTPS secure.
As the page was requesting his credit card number and CVV, he did not feel comfortable entering his details and cancelled the booking.
MyBroadband visited the website and its payment page and found that, at the time, it was not displaying as Secure HTTPS in Chrome.
Computicket told MyBroadband that there was a temporary problem with the page, but assured customers “that no access into any of its databases was gained, nor any systems exposed due to the insecure link”.
“We would like to apologise to customers who experienced any inconvenience due to the temporary problem. All Computicket Travel’s databases and systems are protected from the front end,” it said.
The company said that after a site build, an image used next to the input of the traveller’s telephone number – a country flag – was not secure, causing the site to “no longer be HTTPS”.
“The problem has since been rectified. The Computicket Travel website does however utilise 3D secure and a customer would still breakout to the banking environment to confirm the transaction.”
Following the query, the Computicket Travel website was displaying as Secure HTTPS in Chrome.
