Green Lock and Https Scams Attention

Many web browsers have a lock image on the side of the addresses. You can also see it in the address bar of the Webtekno page, where you are currently on the page. At the beginning of the address, there is https: //.

This lock and the sites with the expression https: // are said to be reliable. This statement is also true up to a certain point. Buying on a site where you do not see the lock or the https expression is a big risk.

According to security firm PhishLabs, these fraudsters use these statements lock and https to create a false sense of security.

First, explaining what locks and https mean is the first step in helping you protect yourself from fraudsters. If you are a Webtekno user, the user name and password you entered when connecting to the site are verified as encrypted. So, Webtekno and Teknostore are secure sites.

Scammers try to create a false sense of security by creating sites that seem safe and have sites with these systems where your passwords and information are protected end-to-end. Malicious people try to ensure that your information is transmitted by your own hands because of this false sense of security.

Brian Curbs, security expert, draws attention to this point. According to the results of PhishLabs studies, almost half of phishing sites establish secure sites for ph in this way. Thus, the site itself is made up of reliable and unreliable people who have transmitted your information.

For this reason, examining the https expression and the lock symbol is now obsolete.

How can we protect ourselves?

At this point, we learned that there is no trust in every https and lock site. What else can we do?

• We have to be careful when we open e-mails that we do not trust.
• Before clicking on the link in an email, we must compare the site's URL to the links known to the link. For example, if you work with a bank called Çokpara Bank and the link to the bank's home page is https://www.cokparabank.com/giris, check the address in the incoming mail . If you see a link in the form https://www.cokparabank.co/giris, know that you are facing a scammer. (If you have a business, take that kind of address that looks a lot like yours, so your customers do not have a job.)
• If you are thinking of buying a product and have seen a site that you do not know yet, do some research on this site.
• The number one rule of the internet is also: think before you click.
