Public bug reported: The main Ubuntu webpage does not support HTTPS. I think this is a severe security risk, as software distribution security is an increasing issue.
Currently trying to access www.ubuntu.com over https gives an error and trying ubuntu.com with https forwards to the http version of www.ubuntu.com. The latter is especially problematic, as it may give users a false sense of security. Ideally all ubuntu webpages should be HTTPS by default and use HSTS. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619240 Title: www.ubuntu.com does not support HTTS, https://ubuntu.com forwards to http To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1619240/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
