PayPal have non-secure images (again!)

No primary category set

For the last week users of PayPal have been presented with a pop-up, warning that the page has non-secure items on it. What’s worse is that the non-secure items are on the PayPal log in page.

The image is one offering up to 17% cashback from selected retailers and is hosted at https://www.paypal.com/….8jpg. In order to be secure the URL needs to begin https, not http.

PayPal merchants go to great lengths to ensure images in their website checkout are secure, in order to avoid pop-ups being presented to their customers. PayPal have their own secure servers so there really is no excuse.

Whilst on the face of it, it’s just a minor oversight, it can hardly inspire confidence in PayPal’s great security if they can’t even keep their log in page free from errors.
