Ted Cruz's New Presidential Campaign Donation Website Shares Security Certificate With Nigerian-Prince.com

March 23, 2015 by Paul Spoerry 8 Comments

 

After Cruz's campaign launch speech (which was widely mocked by the Liberty University students who were forced to attend), he put up a website for donations. And that website didn't default to HTTPS and also listed nigerian-prince.com as an alternate domain on the security certificate. lulz

    conservative websites have more security dangers than free porno sites.

    This can't even be real, what's going on here?

    They were using CloudFlare and likely using the Free SSL or Flexible SSL option… so instead of going through the process of securing their own SSL certificate from a cert authority and applying it to their server they just used CloudFlare.

    https://www.cloudflare.com/ssl

    It appears they're now using RapidSSL… Isn't RapidSSL simply domain validation? I find it… incredible… that someone who just announced they are running for President wouldn't throw down on a EV certificate.

    That is incredible, you would think they would. That is just not smart.

    It's cloudflare. There's no way to control what certs they'll hook you up with.

    Exactly… again…. if you are running for President wouldn't throw down on a EV certificate. Then again, Cruz doesn't even seem remotely intelligent, so why would his IT guys be?!

    Cruz is a hot air stuffed shirt.

    ……please, don't have that be the Republican choice. Then I'd have to vote for a moron just to vote against a psychopath (I'm looking at you Hillary).
