Is anyone else getting this error message? "Your connection is not private"

[inhawaii]

I log in to ebay every single day, several times a day.

I'm on ebay almost 24/7.

Today i get this error message.  Anyone else?

I click on "advanced" and it takes me to this.

There have been numerous, similar complaints earlier on the boards.  Must be a glitch, yeah? I haven't tried to list anything as of yet...still trying to get over the shock of having a sale yesterday. lol.  Hope you're feeling better.  Aloha no.  A hui ho.

I get that all the time when I come back to my desktop.

I never really know what its from but next time I will examine it more

it makes me feel uneasy sort of. like there is more that I should be doing but I am not in on the secret of what to do about it

I get it from time to time, but usually it is my internet connection that goes down for a minute and then comes back.

I just went to eBay.com under both Chrome and Firefox and both indicate the site is secure with a valid certificate.

Check the time and date on your computer.

I get this on my desktop once in awhile,  it's usually from my security app wanted me to upgrade for lots of money.

If you turn on the Chrome "enhanced protection" you will get even more of them!

I also get them in FireFox since they have also upgraded their "dummy protection".

It is not an issue exclusive to eBay, happens from time to time all over the 'net.

You can eliminate them in Chrome by doing a Google search for  - HSTS error Chrome - and following the instructions to turn down the security settings (can be done for specific domains).

I recommend this if you understand how to avoid being phished by fake sites,  if you don't understand that stuff then just leave it as it is.

The amount of security junk added into browsers these days is ridiculous and some of it is VERY hard to turn off for those that don't need it. It's the same thing with spam filters, my email accounts are handled by GoDaddy (my Domain Host), even though I have all the spam filtering turned off I'm still getting [SPAM] warnings added to a lot of my incoming emails.

Unfortunately too many people have no idea how to "surf safely" and that's why hijacked eBay accounts and identity theft are so prevalent.
