Many of you will remember last year when our website was blocked from several browsers and marked as 'unsafe'. We were pressured to purchase expensive security features. We did get a lower level patch and upgraded the site to a new board version, which corrected the immediate issue. Google has now decided to implement even stricter standards of security, and of course other browsers will follow suit. Because this issue will now affect almost every website available, server hosts have had to offer some security features across the board, without additional charge to keep their customers. HostGator has offered a free SSL certificate, which was uploaded to Tek yesterday. According to the tech support person, it might take 24-48 hours for the patch to paginate throughout our entire site. Do I comprehend all of this? No, not really, but I understand the basic application. You may have noticed when you do internet banking, or pay bills online, the web address you access will revert to a secure prefix. It will change from http://, to https://, which indicates another level of security. This is what will be implemented here at Tek. When you log on, the site will reset to the higher security https:// designation. So far, I am not seeing this in the address bar. The admin will continue to monitor this to ensure our site is displaying properly and we are safe and secure.
