CNN.com quietly turned on TLS/HTTPS over the weekend

I just noticed this. HTTP 301s to HTTPS. I say "quietly" because I can't find any official announcement.

Shit, they were my go-to page for signing into hotel WiFi. Where can I go to now?

Is this a big deal? Pretty sure they did this because of SEO reasons

CNN.com used to be my go to website for logging into splash pages that were blocked on HTTPS websites. Now I have to find a new one!

They didn't move everything to HTTPs. There are still subdomains that are still HTTP, such as collection., money., go.cnn.com

Searching for an announcement, I found an ironic result:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;money.cnn.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;09&#x2F;08&#x2F;technology&#x2F;google-chrome-flag-non-secure-sites&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;money.cnn.com&#x2F;2016&#x2F;09&#x2F;08&#x2F;technology&#x2F;google-chrome-fla...</a><p>And, despite money.cnn.com being one of the Subject Alt Names on their certificate (as well as plenty of app, api and some staging domain names), that domain in particular rejects connections to port 443.<p>Maybe their transition is incomplete and they&#x27;re not ready to announce yet?

I wonder if they&#x27;ll ever turn comments back on, too?

Strange, given the numerous anti-cryptography articles they&#x27;ve published...
