Goes without saying - WND.com has a standard https security certificate.
I kinda like WND stories but they’re so heavy with ads I’ve hardly gone there in 20 years.
My browsers don’t seem to be able to handle it.
That being said, Google 🙄🙄🙄
https://transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=https:%2F%2Fwww.wnd.com%2F&hl=en
Current status No unsafe content found
Both DuckDuckGo and Bing (Microsoft) are still sane - as the link works normally on both.
Lawsuit material.
They probably have an advertiser with bad, corrupt, or malicious code. That does happen, frequently years ago with Drudge Report etc.
Kind of goes to say, why I am ending Google tomorrow. ;l::.
Goodbuy!
If you have an url registered with one company, but the site hosted by another, who do you buy the security cert from? The registrar or the host?
Wish I were a lawyer - HUGE lawsuit.
I actually know very little about them - other than that a website that has one shouldn’t put a computer in danger of being affected by a deadly virus.
Google is a virus!
Good call. I was betting on the cert expiring, but I’m thinking you probably nailed it.
Same experience here. I came to the belief that WND had unwittingly hired a malicious programmer that made their site ridiculously difficult to navigate, and I gave up going there. But it could also have been my outdated equipment & browser.
Time to join the “sue Google” line.
Except that Google own “Safe browsing site” says “No unsafe content found”.
Would I be correct in assuming they are lying, again, and again, and again?
I don’t get that warning. Perhaps that is due to the fact that I don’t allow Google to be my default search engine.
Which is why I use ad blockers. Sites do not police the ads that appear on their sites very well. The ad conglomerates that spoon these ads out do not police them either.
From a place like DigiCert.
