Is minecraft.net Safe?

This website sucks! nah, just kidding! this is a very fun game that's friendly to all ages! When your kid is online with swearing teens? there's a mod called "safe chat". there's also 2 other copies (Xbox 360, Minecraft Pocket Edition) that are very fun and one you can play on the go! I highly recommend this game and Pocket Edition. And for PC, it's only ... like 50 MB

This site does not navigate (by default) to a secure login page using HTTPS 128-bit encryption, when accessing your user profile on Minecraft.net. Credential can be compromised in the clear. You must type in the https: protocol to encrypt your credentials on Login page. There is also some controversy regarding the downloadable executable from the site. VirusTotal reports 1 detection (out of 42 most popular virus scanners) of a virus through Trend's HouseCall (TROJ_GEN.RFFH1FL).

This site apparently has a good WOT rating. That's fine for others. But a lot of what I read on the net is that the person who developed this game has sold a lot and is doing well financially. Good for him. He should spend that money to pay for a legitimate digital certificate so that buyers can be assured when they purchase the game that their information is not being hijacked. I don't care if the payment processor is secure, the whole experience should be secure. I cannot give this site a good rating when whoever is in control of it cannot fix these issues.
