  • Look for the “s” in https://website.com- Some websites start with HTTP:// and others with https://. The “s” in the latter stands for secure and will show a little lock icon next to it.
    Those websites are safest for browsing and purchasing. Stick to secure websites whenever possible.


Nope. HTTPS does not mean that the site is good for browsing and purchasing. It only means data is transferred over a secure connection. There are plenty of malicious sites, scam sites using HTTPS. And there are plenty of good site still using HTTP too.
HTTPS does NOT mean legit site. Be careful guys.
