Issue/Introduction

Customer identified that sitereview.symantec.com is accessible via tcp/80 without any HTTP redirect to tcp/443

 

Cause

Customer is concerned about possible Man In the Middle attack.

Resolution

Sitereview team has no plans to for the website access on https only, as browsers do upgrade the connection to the https most of the time and some customer / test conditions do benefit from the site being available via http on port 80.
