For the last week, you may have seen a “security warning” pop up when visiting the site or trying to log in to your Locker. First, we apologize for any inconvenience this caused, but wanted to explain why you were seeing it, and why it was no cause for concern.
When we launched the site, all content was on our secure server. As our traffic began to increase, so did the server load, causing some pages to slow down. This included simple content, like the home page, the features pages, etc. We decided to split the Locker part of the site from the basic content, and so we changed the login to go to https://secure.legacylocker.com/login.
Unfortunately, we hadn’t accounted for the fact that the SSL security we were using would only apply to one “domain”, and we were now using two (www.legacylocker.com and secure.legacylocker.com). Normally this wouldn’t be an issue, but we hadn’t taken into account the fact that many people had already bookmarked the original links. As people tried visiting the old links, they were being shown security warnings, even though the site was just as secure as ever.
It took almost a week for us to realize how many people this was affecting, and we immediately added a second SSL license to make sure the original links still worked as well. So now anyone with an old bookmark will automatically redirect to the proper location, and everything should be working normally.
We want to reiterate: at no point, ever, was any part of our server unsecured.
Again, our apologies for the confusion or any inconvenience this caused anybody!
