How to avoid entering information on insecure websites
PURPOSE
Entering information on unsafe websites can expose passwords, payment details, and personal data.
CHECK FIRST
Review the web address, domain spelling, page purpose, and whether the information requested makes sense.
DO NOT ENTER
Avoid entering passwords, payment information, identification numbers, customer data, or confidential work information on suspicious or unfamiliar pages.
SECURE CONNECTION
A secure connection is expected for login and payment pages, but it is not enough by itself to prove legitimacy.
SAFER METHOD
Go directly to the known website or use an approved portal instead of following unexpected links.
