Gaythailand security

So in my browser it basically says GT site isn't secure. Given the nature of frank discussions it seems like having a site that is SSL secure would be ideal.

Many browsers are not giving a warning when the site has http instead of https.  Most sites are still only http but they are encouraging all sites to be https just to make a bit more secure.

Having never owned, or ran a site, or my own web page I must admit I have little idea what you just said.  Can you or someone please translate for me?

"Security" here means that the browser you use can check if a website it displays is indeed what it represents itself to be. This is important when a website asks for identification and password, for example. If one enters this information on a website falsely created by a hacker, such information can be stolen.

 

Those websites that have "certificates" that identify them for the browser have an address starting with "https" instead of simply "http".  In the case of GayThailand, this would be relevant if you make bank transactions through GayThailand, which is not the case.   You should check that the websites of your bank and brokerage are "https", which the authentic ones surely are.

 

Ryanasia must be concerned that by GayThailand website not being secure, some hacker may steal his password and impersonate him here.  Hmmm...  this could be interesting if the hacker is cute   :acute: and posts some trip reports full of nude pictures and hot sex...

For a change, I recently opened gaythailand in internet explorer (normally use firefox) and there the two models on right and left side are shown in full!

But everyone can read it, and everyone can create a membership account and see the pictures! The only thing that is not secure is your log-in data.

One potential issue is the possibility of the government spying on those users who are within their jurisdiction. For example, the Thai government can establish that user "Alexx" sent this very post using my internet connection, which is linked to my real world identity - unless I use a VPN. If this site had SSL, that would be much tougher for them.

3000 posts for Michael. Congratulations on the milestone.
