  • MY INTERNET SAYS MAPLESTORY WEBSITE IS NOT SAFE

    The reason why the browser shows this site is not secure is that they aren't using an HTTPS connection to secure the traffic. However, if you are accessing their NX purchase store, you can see that it is a secure connection. The difference between a secured and unsecured is that the traffic would be encrypted by a certificate. My guess is that since the main site is largely informational and does not actually contain any sensitive data, they didn't feel the need to have HTTPS setup.

    That's pretty much spot-on to what I've seen. Login, account settings, billing, and support are all secure pages. Everything else, there's no significant need for it.

    Having said that I think all sites should be secured anyways because people lose trust when they see something like "not secured" showing up when accessing a website. Seeing all the privacy issues being surfaced in recent years, I think all data should be protected, but they are probably fixing a billion other bugs so this one is probably low on their priority list.
