Sponge Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 I've just cancelled an online purchase as I wasn't 100% sure it was secure. The page where I was entering my card details looked to be fine - there was a padlock lower right of the IE window and the server address was https. However, after entering my details and pressing 'Authorise' I got a popup window saying the page I was viewing was trying to send me to a non-secure page and my details might become insecure during the process. Proceed, yes or no? (words to that effect) I decided to press no and the transaction didn't appear to proceed. The purchase was for £100 and with a company I've not used before. I found them with Google. So I decided to be cautious. I've not come across a situation like this before. Normally the whole transaction remains on a secure server. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritey Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Think you did the right thing there, posting on a secure site shouldn't bring up that message unless something wasn't implemented correctly. They state that you will be taken off to a secure site but once there it should be secure not giving you those messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Could it just of been a banner that was not from https? agree it's not what you want to see when spending online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Normally if items (graphics/banners) are hosted on a non HTTPs server, but the page is on a HTTPs server, you should be told something similar to "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items - Do you want to display nonsecure items" If it tells you that you're being redirected to a non secure page, then you did the right thing. It may be legit, and as Ritey says, implemented incorrectly, but better to be safe than sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 ...but better to be safe than sorry. Indeed. Thanks to all for your comments. I'll be taking my business elsewhere. :znaika: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
