VERY Helpful Do you know the difference between http and https?

Do you know the difference between http and https? Don't know how many of you are aware of this difference, but it is worthsending to any that do not. The main difference between http:// and https:// is.... It's all aboutkeeping you secure!! HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol... The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure". If you visit a website orwebpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely beginwith the following: http://. This means that the website is talking to yourbrowser using the regular unsecured language. In other words, it is possiblefor 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 yousend 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 yourcomputer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one caneavesdrop on. You understand why this is so important, right? If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you shouldautomatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn't, you should NEVER enter sensitive information....such as acredit card number.
PASS IT ON (You may save someone a lot of grief).
