The Firefox browser, starting with version 52, has a new security feature - it warns users if logging into a site could be potentially unsecure by showing a grey box.You can read about it here:
https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Protect-your-privacy/Insecure-password-warning-in-Firefox/ta-p/27861
Firefox used a crossed out padlock to warn about insecure sites before, but this new system is better, because it can't be overlooked so easily.
I did a quick survey on a small sample of wetlook sites and was surprised how many of them used unsecure pages for login and some even for entering credit card information!! Results below:
Wamphotography - exemplary security - this website uses a secure page both for login to the site and payments, a positive example to follow! Wetfemme.com - a gross disregard of all security measures, even the page on which you enter the payment details is a plain http page, not an https!!! Wamderland.net - registering for an account is on an http page, not a secure https, login could be compromised, I didn't go further to check the payment process Eurowam.net - seems to be a secure page on their payment processors website for payment, I didn't test the member login as I am not a member Wetfoto com - logging in to the website is not secure - credentials potentially compromised, https not used for login, payment secure through their payment processors Mostwam.tv - loggin to the site not secure, not https, payment is not secure, no https used, credit card details could be compromised!!! Soakingwet.co.uk - the download store uses a secure page for payments through their payment processor Wetlookadventure.com - login to site not secure, no https, payment secure through their payment processors
I meant this post as a discussion starter, so I would like to hear from the producers what they think about this issue, especially on those sites where the payment details are entered on insecure pages, about the practical implications, if there are any. Thank you.
