Take note that legit and secure website read like this (https:) and not secured website has only like read like this (http:) without letter s. This is the only thing I know about secured or legit website and not secured website. I guess there are many good members here that could explain further on your posts. You may create also a thread for this for the newbies. This is very important for the awareness of the new comers here. This will let them avoid scam and phishing activities.

This has nothing to do with a "legit" website. Anyone can get a free SSL certificate in 2 minutes (literally) and then have HTTPS in their website.

You shouldn't be looking at the text before the domain but at the domain itself. E.g: If you are on Binance, double check if it's binance.com and not binaence.com or binance.tk; Most phishing websites try to take advantage of the user who type the wrong domain or click at the unknown email with the fake website.

At this point I wouldn't even trust looking at the address bar. It's a lot safer to type it in yourself(or via a browser bookmark). There was this Binance phishing site in the past with the url: biṇaṇce.com. Yes. Take a look at it a bit closer. biṇaṇce.com. There's a dot under both n's. That's tricky as hell.
