This comic pokes fun at the lack of security implied by an unverified {{w|https}} connection as implied by the "red line through (<span style="color:red"><s>https</s></span>)". https is an extension to the http protocol which (among other things) verifies that the server owns the domain name. “Insecure” https is usually caused by invalid TLS certificates, which can be an indication that an attacker is intercepting the connection (the attacker doesn’t have access to the certificates). However reasons for “insecure” https are often caused by benign reasons: | This comic pokes fun at the lack of security implied by an unverified {{w|https}} connection as implied by the "red line through (<span style="color:red"><s>https</s></span>)". https is an extension to the http protocol which (among other things) verifies that the server owns the domain name. “Insecure” https is usually caused by invalid TLS certificates, which can be an indication that an attacker is intercepting the connection (the attacker doesn’t have access to the certificates).
