A MyBroadband reader recently contacted us to state that when he\u00a0was in the process of booking a ticket on Computicket Travel’s website, he noticed the payment page was not displaying as HTTPS secure.<\/p>\n

As the page was requesting his credit card number and CVV, he did not feel comfortable entering his details and cancelled the booking.<\/p>\n

MyBroadband visited the website and its payment page and found that, at the time, it was not displaying as Secure HTTPS in Chrome.<\/p>\n

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”.<\/p>\n

“We would like to apologise to customers who experienced any inconvenience due to the temporary problem. All Computicket Travel\u2019s databases and systems are protected from the front end,” it said.<\/p>\n

The company said that after a site build,\u00a0an image used next to the input of the traveller’s telephone number – a country flag –\u00a0was not secure, causing the site to “no longer be HTTPS”.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Following the query, the\u00a0Computicket Travel website was displaying as\u00a0Secure HTTPS in Chrome.<\/p>\n
