These signs indicate encryption, making data harder for others to read. Still, scammers may copy icons, so always read the address carefully. Small spelling changes can reveal fake pages.
Be cautious with urgent payment messages. Real organisations seldom pressure users. Keep browsers updated to ensure encryption standards stay current.
When uncertain, close the tab and access the website directly from your bookmarks or by typing the address manually. Use trusted Wi-Fi or mobile data for banking or purchases.
If you chose “No, I don’t check”
It’s common to skip small details online, but a quick glance can prevent data theft. Always check for https and the padlock before submitting information. This ensures your data is encrypted.
Fake websites often mimic real names using small spelling tricks. Take a few seconds to double-check the address bar and verify it matches the official site name.
If a page feels suspicious or loads too slowly, exit immediately. Avoid clicking pop-ups and use bookmarks to reach your favourite sites safely.
Learning this small habit today helps you shop, bank, and communicate online more confidently. Safe browsing starts with simple checks.
