Robert 9 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Be careful, I've just noticed that the Alamy website is being reported by two different browsers as insecure and not properly encrypted, leaving it open to hackers. I've sent an email to Alamy to ask about this. Link to post Share on other sites

Robert 9 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Response from Alamy - payment details and passwords are encrypted, but the rest of the site does not use https - false alarm then, I hope. Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Rooney 3,649 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Just wondering, Allan: do you have trouble now and then getting on MyAlamy with Safari? I do. Link to post Share on other sites
Avpics 1,510 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Chrome has always shown a (i) in the address bar stating that the sites aren't secure. Seems odd for such a business Link to post Share on other sites

HollyGraphic 1 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Yes, I noticed that, Even the payment page looks to be not encrypted. Anyone have any new info about this? I am just starting here and don't like to put in passwords etc. over a non-encrypted network. Link to post Share on other sites

Martin P Wilson 1,140 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Several months I got a similar warning on several sites (Drupal or Joomla!) I manage. It took me a couple of hours or so to convert them (~6 sites) so that they are all entirely https, so there is not really any excuse for not using https. As an aside I have my browser (FF) set to private browsing/ no tracking as well - shows a shield in the address box. I sometimes need to switch it off as it occasionally (very rarely) blocks ads I want to see (usually when testing one of my managed sites).

Marianne 868 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I paid to have even my blog set to be secure . You'd think Alamy would do it. I worry about how safe our photos are when I hear things like this. I noticed that it wasn't secure on Chrome - Safari doesn't show anything. I wonder if it keeps new customers from signing up - that would be a big concern. Just doesn't make sense to me why it's not totally secure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
