has anyone using The Cloud WiFi experienced a malicious change to their bookmarks?

The only https area I could find is
https://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/publ...g=en&cc=uk

I don't know if visiting that would be enough to fix the icon. It might depend on datestamps - the fake icon might have a very recent datestamp.

Just possibly you could visit and bookmark a link such as the above, to get the proper icon, and then edit it to point to the page you actually wanted.

If you start your visit at http://hp.com or any other unencrypted place, all bets are off because every link you visit thereafter could have been messed with. Which is why it's such a terrible idea for the banks to have http sites which redirect to their https e-banking facilities - if the first page is vulnerable you may be directed elsewhere.

The bookmark had been on my mobile for some time - so the original hp-to-mobile icon when i set up the bookmark was OK. Subsequently, the icon stored on my mobile/browser was changed, I believe.
Is it still safe to click that Icon?
