Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Nightly detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.paypal.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

Websites prove their identity via certificates, which are issued by certificate authorities. Most browsers will no longer trust Symantec, the certificate authority for www.paypal.com.

You may notify the website’s administrator about this problem.

www.paypal.com has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Nightly can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site.
