Nominet - site security not trusted?

[Retired_member41]

Any ideas why this is happening? Shows up when I try and sign into nominet online services?

Just logged in to see if it happens to me, there were no security certificate warnings.

[Edit]

Tried Opera and and IE browsers.

Thanks for that. Puzzled now. Using iPhone so maybe it's that?

Just concerned when it said at bottom of the page 'where an attacker maybe trying to intercept my communications' lol they would be very sad if they did.

Added. Seems its just the google chrome app. Safari is fine. Anyone know if hackers etc can exploit iPhones or is it just pcs etc

Anything can be hacked or socially engineered to get people to download something to their phones, even if I owned a mobile phone, I would never use it for the likes of entering my Nominet account, the same would apply for online banking or anything similar, I wouldn't trust a phone for doing anything like that.

I don't know much about phones but just read this:

The iPhone is unlike cell phones that preceded it because it has an operating system similar to that of a computer. This means that an iPhone could be compromised and “hacked” by an enterprising and unscrupulous computer programmer, just as a computer can.

That's news to me. I thought mobile phones were ring fenced type of thing. Thanks once again!

it's probably because it's on .org.uk and not just .uk That would be ultra-secure.

Beat me to it, suggest Nominet bid for Nominet.uk when it comes to auction
