A question re. http and https
I have a long running feud with my internet provider. They have a site where i can log in to view my personal data (email, bills, etc.) and my user name and password has to be given. This is an http site! However, when you do log in on this http site you are transferred to an https site. ???????????
My point is that the transfer of my user name and password is not secure since it is done via an http connection. They deny and claim everything is secure.
The funny (but not haha) part of it is that they also have an https site where you can log in (found when googling but way down in the listings given by Google).
I am confused. Totally.
They even told me once i had a redirecting virus. Nonsense, of course, because google gives the https as well as the http site for logging in.
Any information to clear up my confusion? Am i nuts or are they?
