engadget: When the 'S' in HTTPS also stands for shady.
Now we say, you should always use HTTPS, but you shouldn't always trust it as a marker for your safety. Because now people really, really need to know that HTTPS doesn't equal legitimate safety, as they've been led to believe. It's important to remember that checking the link they click for validity, spelling, and malfeasance needs to take priority over the need to check against making sure Chrome says "Secure." Because it's not.
You may think you're immune. Beware. Thanks, papascott.
