The location service uses HTTP URLs instead of HTTPS for network requests to geojs.io, ip-api.com, and ipwho.is. This exposes users to potential Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks where an attacker could intercept or manipulate location data. Signed-off-by: tomaioo <203048277+tomaioo@users.noreply.github.com>
