xHamster Leads Adult Companies In Site Security!
Limassol, Cyprus — On January 24, all major browsers will begin alerting visitors to insecure sites. Adult site xHamster has become one of the most secure adult sites in the world, and the only one of the largest tube sites to have move all traffic to the HTTPS protocol, according to a recent presentation by the Center for Democracy and Technology at the Xbiz Conference in Los Angeles.
The new HTTPS protocols work to prevent third parties from accessing passwords, usernames, security questions and birth dates, and prevent anyone from seeing what pages were visited.
“We are in a time of unprecedented surveillance,” said Alex Hawkins, spokesperson for xHamster. For adult users in particular, it’s crucial that we protect their privacy when they visit the site. As we saw once again with the Trump dossier, people’s sexual habits and preferences can be a potent source of blackmail, particularly in countries that ban porn, limit access for women, or outlaw alternative sexualities.”
While some sites have converted part of their sites to HTTPS, or allow visitors to use HTTPS while visiting, only xHamster makes the secure browsing mode the default for all visitors.
HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network using HTTPS Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within an encrypted connection via Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide maximum protection of user privacy and to maintain the integrity of all data exchanged to and from their computer with a website. Sites that do not use HTTPS protection may be vulnerable to malicious code that can pass on viruses or malware to a viewer’s computer, or make private transactional information accessible by third-party hackers without consent of the site owner or computer user.
“Safer sex should include adult sites,” says Hawkins. “You shouldn’t have to worry that when you visit an adult site, you’ll come away with a virus. Unfortunately, most of our competitors have not taken all the precautions, and even those who allow secure browsing haven’t made HTTPS the default for all visitors. This leaves billions of visitors vulnerable.”
