PPC Monthly Meeting Request




For the last several months, we have been informing you that 
Google marks all sites that have not migrated to HTTPS as “not secure" and don't display them in their browser

They also announced that sites without SSL will be ranked much lower to further incentivize the shift to HTTPS. 

Websites that are not protected with SSL encryption/certificate have a high probability of having their credentials stolen as well. 

In particular, WordPress-based websites are usually targeted; for example from REF[1]:

If your WordPress is still running on HTTP, when you login to WordPress and access the dashboard or admin pages, all data is sent in clear text. This means that your WordPress credentials are also sent over the internet in clear text.

Once credentials have been stolen, hackers compromise the website by forwarding links to malicious web sites.

Therefore, Solution21 will no longer allow access to the WordPress admin console UNLESS the site is protected with an SSL/TLS certificate.

We requested all clients to make their website secure . If you have a dedicated IT, They can purchase it (usually cost around $70 to $160) and install it for you, which is going to take between 1 to 2 hours.
