Do you watch out for " https "?

[dilip kumar]

What is the difference between http and https ?

Time to know this with 32 lakh debit cards compromised in India.

Many of you may be aware of this difference, but it is

worth sharing for any that are not.....

The main difference between http:// and https:// is all

about keeping you secure

HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure".. If you visit a

Website or web page, and look at the address in the web browser, it is likely begin with the following: http:///.

This means that the website is talking to your browser using

the regular unsecured language. In other words, it is possible for someone to "eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the Website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.

This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in an

Http website! But if the web address begins with https://, that

means your computer is talking to the website in a

Secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.

You understand why this is so important, right?

If a website ever asks you to enter your Credit/Debit card

Information, you should automatically look to see if the web

address begins with https://.

If it doesn't, You should NEVER enter sensitive

Information....such as a credit/debit card number.

PASS IT ON (You may save someone a lot of grief).

Safe Banking tips for the security of your account. 

Do change your ATM PIN once in 3 to 6 months
Do not share your ATM PIN with anyone
Report lost or stolen cards immediately
NEVER SHARE your Card number, CVV, PIN, OTP, Expiry date or URN with anyone, even if the person claims to be a bank employee.
Sharing these details can lead to unauthorised access to your account
Never keep your Card and PIN together or write your PIN on the card
Transact online only at reputed and known online merchants.

There's a fake notice supposedly from Bank of America that's telling customers of an urgency to change their pw! Supposedly someone has tried to log into your account for x number of times. It looks very legitimate. However, if you attempt to sign in from that email, as requested, an enormous red alert comes up to let you know "this is not a safe site!" SAVED by the bell! I thought I was more " on the ball," but it could have caught anyone off guard. Ooooohhhh, Satan's system!!
