    Google just changed its approach. Https sites used to be marked with a padlock. In the latest versions they now mark http sites as not secure. The s means that the site uses encryption to transfer data and it is harder to hack, in basic terms. I wouldn't worry too much unless you are sending personal or financial data to an unsecured site.

    @Petrozza

    You probably already know this, but if not, you can get free SSL certs now.
    https://letsencrypt.org/

    edit: nevermind - I see you can navigate to an https version of the site. The http version should probably redirect to the https version so no one can use that.

    so @K'OB just navigate to the https version.

    I don't know if it's me, but it doesn't seem to keep me logged in anymore. It might be my browser.
