Old "scoutbook . com" link name is not secure

[Bill_W]

“Scoutbook.com”

• It defaults to non-secure connection link address http://scoutbook.com on most web browsers.

• The redirection to new link https://scoutbook.scouting.org may not be secure.

  • It can be attacked by internet Domain Name Service poisoning.

• NOTE: https://scoutbook.com times out

Previous bug report

Using naked scoutbook.com redirects to generic landing page

Hello, starting this morning I have been having an issue accessing Scoutbook by pointing my brower to scoutbook.com. Doing so redirects me to a generic domain landing page (http://comingsoon.markmonitor.com/). I can still access scoutbook by pointing my browser to www.scoutbook.com (note the inclusion of “www.”). I hope whoever manages the DNS of Scoutbook will make it accessible/re-enable access via the naked domain.

@Bill_W

scoutbook.com should not be used. The correct URL is https://scoutbook.scouting.org. If you want a change made in this area, you will need to get your Council to open a ticket. There is nothing further the SUAC can do to encourage a change here.
