From 6db8252fb72cc843594018fe4bcf7f8050ad5c14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Udit Patel Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2018 01:15:34 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Mixed content weakens HTTPS fix6 (#616) Mixed content weakens HTTPS Requesting subresources using the insecure HTTP protocol weakens the security of the entire page, as these requests are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks, where an attacker eavesdrops on a network connection and views or modifies the communication between two parties. Using these resources, an attacker can often take complete control over the page, not just the compromised resource. Although many browsers report mixed content warnings to the user, by the time this happens, it is too late: the insecure requests have already been performed and the security of the page is compromised. This scenario is, unfortunately, quite common on the web, which is why browsers can't just block all mixed requests without restricting the functionality of many sites. --- content/news/137-nilered.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/content/news/137-nilered.md b/content/news/137-nilered.md index f3bc2f5d..328246a2 100644 --- a/content/news/137-nilered.md +++ b/content/news/137-nilered.md @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ Rounding out the top five science channels on LBRY is perhaps the most legendary [@NileRed](https://open.lbry.io/%40NileRed) (also available on spee.ch at https://spee.ch/@NileRed) is a regular Reddit front page sensation.
