This website was always secured by a login yes but not SSL encryption

 

Here's what that is:

 

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browsers remain private and integral. ... To be able to create anSSL connection a web server requires an SSLCertificate.

Guys,

 

If you aren't already you should be using at least a tor browser for safety. SSL just means they can't understand what you are doing on a website. They still know you are connecting.

 

Plus we know that anonymized data is not safe from metadata inference. They can link you to stuff by checking when you logged and map it to when you were online from a certain IP, stuff you spoke about - like perhaps you mentioned it rained some day and that rain was really localized, you post a picture with your hand in and boom they have race & gender. That is how they track people. Tor, even though not foolproof goes a long way to at least anonymizing where you are connecting from. It routes you through an anonymized network. (Which can still be traced if the exit nodes are controlled by government).

 

There are tons of videos about it on youtube, it is usually under the topic of OpSec (operational security). DEF CON has some great presentations on it.
