It's only in recent months that AB switched over to using an 'https' connection, rather than an 'http' one. Up until then, the most recent versions of some browsers (including Firefox) were flagging this site as 'not secure'.

All that "not secure" actually means though isn't that you should submit sensitive data through the site. (e.g. you shouldn't enter your debit card details on a site that only uses 'http' technology).

While viewing the Daily Wail website might well cause severe psychological damage, it won't harm your computer ;-)
