Random Warning

Not sure if anyone else has seen this warning but randomly when I come here to MBB, I see this message saying, "This site does not provide a secure connection." What does it mean? Am I taking a risk coming here when I see this message?

Featured Replies

Haven’t seen this.  The site should always redirect to https:// for a secure connection. 

Curious if anyone has seen this. 

Next time you see it check if the URL has https:// at the beginning of it.  If it does and you still see the message you may have to clear your cache. 

I discovered the MBB app a few months back and use that exclusively, rather than Chrome.

Its a once in a blue moon sort of thing. Seems to fix itself quickly.

What's it mean, though? Rich?

The connection and data being exchanged between you and the site isn’t encrypted.    If someone was snooping your data or wifi, they could see what you were downloading and uploading between the site.  
 

If it was a banking site or e-commerce site.  I’d be more concerned.   Technically, if you were typing in and submitting your password, someone could see it if they were snooping you, if the connection really were unsecured 
 

This article has some details on it

Could the clock on your computer be off? Sometimes that results in the certificate presented by the site being detected as invalid. Fixes itself after the clock does a re-sync with the time server.
