Has anyone else had their firewall or antivirus flag the Mothership website after completing a download purchase? It keeps telling me my information will be visible/vulnerable. I'm having second thoughts about using it, which is a shame since downloading is much quicker and convenient than buying DVDs. Anyone else noticed this?

The security at Vidown has always been absolutely top notch and well above the spec required for its purpose. Years ago it was the only platform I trusted for making purchases.

I would personally trust Mothership on track record and just ignore the flag. These security suites have a habit of doing this every now and again to cover their own arses.

It'll most likely mean that one of the pages is loading an image (probably an advert) from an http, instead of https, source.

The thing to understand is this "data may be visible on an unencrypted connection" business is really only relevant if an actual real hacker is logged into your ISP's equipment and real-time monitoring your actual connection, which is probably less likely than winning the lottery several times in a row. It's not impossible but is very, very unlikely. Most of the time when card details are stolen it's from people breaking into sales site databases, not wiresharking individual connections.

Think of it as the difference between someone intercepting and steaming open your outgoing mail, one letter at a time, to look for credit card numbers, as opposed to someone breaking into the offices of a business you've sent an order too and stealing all the mail in their post room, to get the card numbers off every order they've been sent from thousands of people. Encrypted connections protect against the person steaming open the mail, not the database hackers making off with the company's data. And The Mothership is run by an experienced admin who knows security backwards, so the chances of anyone stealing their data are very remote.

Having said all that it's still something that probably wants fixing just for reassurance of people, if you private message Soundguy here on UMD with the details of exactly which store you're seeing the problem on, he should be able to fix it. https://umd.net/soundguy

I'll drop him a message and point him at this thread too.

As others mentioned, that's typically caused by a vendor linking to an image on a non-SSL site somewhere. We discourage it, but it's still possible. It means nothing because our entire internal system is SSL-protected. We also do not store sensitive credit card information on our servers, so it can't be compromised on our end.

What application is triggering the warning on your device and what exactly is it saying?

I'll bring UMD to it's knees, once I gather the last Infinity Stone.

Can you mail me all the WLP DVD's? For safekeeping and posterity, of course!
