I define insecure as a machine/user getting compromised. Malware, phishing and the like.

Anyway, your example is a good one as to why it's weird for Chrome to label these things as insecure.

Insecure can't be used as a drop-in replacement for compromised though; Being insecure will get you compromised. One distinct thing might lead to another distinct thing

So a bank using plaintext HTTP doesn't qualify an insecure?
