Secured vs Not Secured Website
The first and easiest thing to check for is if the website you are on is secure, meaning that the information sent from your computer to the web is secured and encrypted.
On your web browser, check the URL to see if it contains “https://” as the beginning. If it just contains “http://”, without the “s”, it is not secured.
You can still browse a website that is not secured, however, be wary of downloading software, entering personal information or payment information as the information is not secured and encrypted.
