No HTTPS Wikia

December 14, 2015 Admin Leave a comment

12/14/15 - Wikia No HTTPS

12/14/15 - Wika create account No HTTPS

Wikia.com‘s registration and login forms are both loaded over insecure HTTP and also POST over HTTP.  The registration form asks for a full date of birth which is personally identifiable information (PII).

The “Sign up with Facebook” button on the registration page and “Facebook Connect” button on the log in page open a new window loaded over HTTPS.

https://www.wikia.com/Wikia automatically redirects to http://www.wikia.com/Wikia (the main homepage)

At the time of this report Wikia is #16 on Quantcast’s Top 100 Sites list in the U.S.  They also report 140 million users on their About Us page.

Interestingly enough, they have obtained a SSL certificated valid from July 31, 2015 until January 28, 2016 and have pretty solid results from Qualys SSL Labs server test earning an A grade for each of 4 servers configured.
