I don't know if anyone else has been seeing this but lately I've been getting attempts to downgrade my HTTPS connection to HTTP when trying to log in to the .win ConPro site.
Maybe it's nothing but in case it's not, assume your account might be compromised and don't share anything personal in PMs or re-use that password on any other accounts.

Anytime you see a site being downgraded to HTTP, that's stranger danger, a bunch of noses trying to touch your private parts. Close the tab, check the URL, if the URL is right, then it's either down, or hacked.
It's dangerous and your ISP can see anything and everything you do. They can also change the information sent back to you by the website and fool you into thinking it came from the site you're visiting.
It's also easier for hackers to attack you if you're not using http.
With HTTPS, your internet service provider knows what website you're visiting, but not what you're doing, and they can't alter the information being sent to you by the website. They also know how much data is coming and going between you and the site.
