Website Security Update
Modern web browsers will now display a lock icon with a red strike-through or an exclamation mark in the address bar, when users login without a secure connection. These changes now raise greater security awareness to everyday website users and inform them that their password 'could' be stolen by eavesdroppers and attackers.

I would like to update your regarding the security of your
website and ask you to consider improving security on your website for the protection of your users and your business.
Modern web browsers will now display a lock icon with a red strike-through or an exclamation mark in the address bar, when users login without a secure connection. These changes now raise greater security awareness to everyday website users and inform them that their password 'could' be stolen by eavesdroppers and attackers.
Users can continue to log in to your website even if the
connection is insecure, but do so at their own risk.
A secure connection is easily identified by the presence of 'https://' at the beginning of the address URL in the browser, instead of http:// (the inclusion of the letter 's' indicates 'secured').
To assure you and your users of a
secure experience, Brilliant can acquire and install an SSL certificate to your website on your behalf. An SSL certificate authenticates an
encrypted connection to your website and requires annual renewal.
If you would like to learn more about this, please contact me directly and I will review your website with you and advise further.
