Check or Attack Name: Nav leave secure site

The web browser displays no warning when leaving an encrypted or secure site. A user may be unable to distinguish between viewing trusted and non-trusted content. Because this option allows pages to be decrypted without intervention, it may result in secure content being cached on the local file system in a non-secure manner.
