Google Blogger is a great platform for creating any kinds of blog. It is serving their all products free of cost. But there are biggest security issues in Google Blogger platform because BlogSpot is not secured for commercial use. 

If you see WordPress CMS is more secured than Blogger BlogSpot. Through Blogger is more flexible than any other platform but people don’t build their commercial site on this platform, because only for security option. 

For example: 

In Blog based eCommerce site if you go for payment then your Debit or Credit card may be hacked easily. As a result commercial site don’t rely on BlogSpot.

 However Google is working since 2008 to encrypt the connections between users and Google servers. Though they have successfully encrypted Search, Gmail, Drive, and many other products but finally they have rollout of HTTPS support for serving encrypted connection in their BlogSpot. Though Google serve their Blog on own hosted server as a result now it become more secured by adding an extra secured layer on their security.

The term HTTPS is new for BlogSpot but this is well known for other platform.  HTTPS full explanation is Hypertext Transfer Protocol and this is a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security or its predecessor, In addition this is a Secure Sockets Layer which protects the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data.

HTTPS is more secured and it has some significant benefits for users such as-
  • HTTPS makes the Internet security harder for bad actors to steal any information or track the activities of blog authors and visitors.
  • Visitors are now able to open the correct website and if they enter into a site and after landing there it won’t be redirect to other malicious location.
  • If a bad actor tries to change any data sent from Blogger to a blog visitor then HTTPS helps to detect it instantly.
