Major League Baseball’s website requires a security check before proceeding due to a potential vulnerability in the connection. When attempting to access the site, users are prompted to verify their humanity through a CAPTCHA-like process.
The verification process involves checking the security of the user’s connection and enabling JavaScript and cookies to continue. This measure is taken by Cloudflare, a performance and security company that provides services to protect websites from cyber threats.
By implementing this security check, MLB aims to prevent potential hacking attempts and ensure the integrity of its online platform.
