You cannot correct it. The website must do that by switching to “https:" rather than “http:”. Safari has started advising you that the website is not using encryption and is therefore not secure. You can choose to ignore the message if you like.

Showing SSL error for genuine sites (links from google search results) and then getting routed to spam advertising sites. I am facing this problem on both my iPhone and on my Macbook. The Safari is showing links for google search results as not having valid SSL certificates. When I click proceed to site, I get routed to this IP address always - http: //89.208.103.43. From there, the browser automatically shows many spam Advertising sites. This happens simultaneously on my iPhone as well as on my Macbook. This is only on Safari. If I use Microsoft Edge, this problem vanishes. When I go back to Safari, the same problem is seen. I have tried resetting the Safari on Iphone and clearing website data and cookies on Safari, Macbook. Still the problem somehow comes back. I am also worried about Malware or something like that installed in my devices. Please help. [Link Edited by Moderator]
