This error message means that a security feature called Cross-Site Request Forgery protection (XSRF or CSRF) is active on the website you’re using. It ensures connections are only accepted from reliable sources by checking for a special token in each “Post” request to the server. If you’re seeing this message, the website doesn’t see this token, which may indicate a network issue, a software bug, or an attempted security breach.
