Hi Laura, Great post! I definitely agree with you that ultimately security falls on the owner of the website, regardless of who is actively managing the security measures. I also appreciate that you mentioned that you should hire someone unless you have extremely good security knowledge. I think a lot of people just assume that what little they know is good enough rather than thinking critically about how much they know about internet and website security. I really think all websites in today’s day and age should be running https/ssl, not just finance websites, because SSL certificates are often inexpensive and some are even free (a service called Let’s Encrypt helps provide free SSL certificates). I think by spreading https/ssl across the web it helps alleviate a lot of issues that users run into.
