McCain website: breaching our security?
June 15th, 2008 3:29 pm by Jason B.After seeing John McCain’s new commercial, “Safe,” in which he states he hates war, I decided to take a visit to his campaign webpage. I went ahead with clicking on his e-mail signup, but was greeted immediately with a security warning. Not knowing what to do, I took a screenshot of this intrusive prompt. Could McCain’s staff be sending a virus to me? Am I being watched as I click around his website? Why would McCain’s site prompt me with a security warning whereas Obama’s site invites me in? The security warning:
“You have attempted to establish a connection with “johnmccain.com”. However, the security certificate presented belongs to “*.johnmccain.com”. It is possible, though unlikely, that someone may be trying to intercept your communication with this website.
If you suspect the certificate does not belong to “johnmccain.com”, please cancel the connection and notify the site administrator.”
My message to everyone: be careful when visiting McCain’s site! Might as well go to Obama’s instead.
(Though this post is in good fun, the security prompt was completely real)

Well, this was an innocent typo mistake from the John McCain’s campaign website. I can’t believe they haven’t figured this out yet. It’s really sad that McCain people are not that active online. In Digg, I saw that McCain’s campaign account is not active since October last year while Obama’s campaign is active regularly.
If they want to attract young voters they need to be a way more active. Well, it’s too late now. There is no way McCain is going to win and this is another example.

the only people voting for McCain are old farts and losers.

Perhaps they should get a Windows admin in there to properly configure IIS. Oh, that means they will have to search for one and pay them lots of campaign dollars to do so. Oh well. Thank goodness Obama’s on open source.

Bob, no one hates America because the people are America, the government, those few elected officials are our servants and they need to keep their place rather than foment discord…George Washington warned about any party who will try to divide us to better conquer power. Our strenght is UNITY against any government who will try to infringe on the constitution and deceive the people.
Neocons are not conservative they are rabid fascist whom have brought ruin to our country, they need to go with John McCain and the white house will be for the people again not the despots.
Got to fight for our liberty and the republic so be aware of the enemy within.
