  • Hi @ronen,

    This page doesn’t appear to use HTTPS (SSL) by default. As such any information you enter on it is not encrypted before being sent to the destination server. Anyone sitting in the middle and sniffing traffic could in theory view your credentials.

    It does appear that it is possible to access this page over SSL though, using this URL instead:

    https://www.brother-usa.com/myaccount/?WT.svl=myacc1#.UC9d5qlRpz8

    Doing so should not cause this warning to appear. I hope that helps!
