Go daddy security

I have changed my password this morning, but I am worried it might have been a fake website. I read on another thread that when you change password you should check the URL and make sure it has the hhtps thing but also click on the padlock. When I do that it says site has been authenticated by go daddy security certificate authority or something like that. Is this the fake website? I have had the conformation email from mumsnet, but I am worried.

Anyone know.

It's not fake; GoDaddy is the name of a company that provides domain name registrations and security certificates:

Ah Okay thanks. I just thought it sounded a bit dodgy as the hacker was named daddy security.
