VERY IMPORTANT: Important Difference Between "http://" & "https://"
The main difference between http:// and https:// is all about keeping you
secure!!
HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of
saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for
information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients.
The important thing is the letter 'S' which makes the difference between
"http" and "https".
The 'S' (big surprise) stands for 'Secure'.
If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web
browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://.
This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular
'unsecure' 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 basically 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 card information, you
should automatically look to see if the web address begins with "https://"
. If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive
information like a credit card number!
http VS https
I had Check the Tigerair http://www.tigerairways.com/home/ and Jetstar
airways http://www.jetstar.com/3k/index.html both when come to booking the
ticket and keying the personal information they show "https://"
BOOKING; https ://booking.tigerairways.com/skylights/cgi-bin/skylights .
cgi and https ://jetstar.com/skylights/cgi-bin/skylights.cgi
SO it is safe to do that booking....
Attached are more examples of GENUINE and FRAUD Maybank2u.com webpages.
Please remember when you buy any thing online make sure passing your
information on the website showing "https://",
