Google Https

[NDN]

Just noticed that when I visit Google, it's using https rather than http. That seems new to me, anyone know if that's the case?

A question i can answer... quoteing this btw


Here's some background on why we default to this option: If you sign in to Gmail via a non-secure Internet connection, like a public wireless or non-encrypted network, your Google account may be more vulnerable to hijacking. Non-secure networks make it easier for someone to impersonate you and gain full access to your Google account, including any sensitive data it may contain like bank statements or online log-in credentials. HTTPS, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, is a secure protocol that provides authenticated and encrypted communication.



FYI - if you are logged in, you should always be on https

Thanks for that.
