Recognizing Secure Websites
Recognizing secure websites involves identifying sites that use proper encryption and security measures to protect your data during online interactions.
- Data theft: Unsecured websites can expose personal and payment details.
- Financial fraud: Fake websites may steal credit card information.
- Identity theft: Shared details can be used for malicious purposes.
- Phishing scams: Fraudulent websites may mimic legitimate ones to collect your credentials.
Example: A user entered credit card information on an unsecured website, leading to unauthorized transactions.
- Look for “HTTPS” and a padlock symbol in the browser address bar before entering sensitive information.
- Verify the URL to ensure it matches the official website.
- Avoid using sites with warnings about insecure connections.
- Use security tools like browser plugins that identify malicious websites.
- Report suspicious websites to the appropriate authorities or platforms.
