Pistonheads forum not secure!!!!!!!!

[thebraketester]

Here's hoping I don't get an instant ban...I'd ask for Mod from our Community to leave this thread in the Lounge so it doesn't get ignored by the majority of the Community. I guess PH/Haymarket employees might feel differently.

For those who use Google Chrome to browse the internet and these forums you might notice in the coming week or so a pop-up appearing as shown in this thread:

This will highlight an issue that PH/Haymarket have been aware of for well over a year and have made no progress on fixing it as highlighted in this thread:

The short version is that these forums are not secure, especially if you ever login to this site via a public WiFi connection and login using an email address

I beg all users to please change their PH password to a unique one that you don't use for any other online accounts, especially online banking.

I know we are often told to use separate passwords for every online account but most people (myself included) ignore this advice from time to time. The problem is that PH is so unsecure in comparison to most other website you might login to that you can be vulnerable to man-in-the-middle and eavesdropping attacks, which can let attackers gain access to your PH account and in-turn your email and other online accounts if you use the same or similar passwords.

Please make sure your PH password is unique to PH so your chances of being hacked are reduced
