If you’re using Firefox, you should be presented with a screen looking something like this:<\/p>\n
![\"takealot-ssl-error\"](\"http:\/\/www.stevenlee.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/takealot-ssl-error.png\")
<\/p>\n
Not only has the SSL certificate expired (June 13th, 2015), it is only valid for the “www.kalahari.com” domain.<\/p>\n
To be fair, the Takealot login link on the home page redirects to https:\/\/secure.takealot.com\/ which does have a valid SSL certificate. This does not help people like me who would like to browse the website over a secure connection without being signed in.<\/p>\n
This may not be a security catastrophe, but it’s an unnecessary blemish on what is most likely a secure shopping platform.<\/p>\n
If you have a connection with someone at Takealot, why not send them to this post – maybe they’ll do something about it. \ud83d\ude1b<\/p>\n
