Difference between "http" and "https"

*_What is the difference between "http" and "https"?_* 

 *_Time to know this, with 32 lakh Debit Cards compromised in India!_* 

 *_The main difference between "http://" and "https://" is all about keeping you secure._* 

 *_"http" stands  for "Hyper Text Transfer  Protocol"._* 

 *_The "s" (big  surprise) stands for "Secure". If you visit_ _a Website or Web Page, and look at the address in the Web Browser, it is likely to begin with the following: "http://"_* 

 

*_This means that the Website is talking to  your Browser using the regular unsecured 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 means your Computer is talking to the Website in a Secure Code that no one can eavesdrop on._* 

 *_Now, hope you understood why this is so important._* 

 *_If a Website ever asks you to enter your Credit/Debit Card Information, you should_ _automatically look to see if the Web Address begins with  "https://"  or http://* 

      

 *_If  it is http:// ,then you should NEVER enter any Sensitive Information such as a Credit/Debit Card_ _Number etc._* 

      NEXT

 *_While checking the name of any Website, first look for the domain extension (Eg: ".com"  or ".org", ".co.in", ".net"  etc). The name just before this is the domain name of the Website. Eg: in the above case,_ _"http://amazon.diwali -festivals.com", the word before ".com" is "diwali-festivals" (and NOT "amazon"). So, this Webpage does not belong to_ _"amazon.com" but_ _belongs to "diwali-festivals.com", which  we all haven't heard of before.You can_ _similarly check for bank frauds._* 

 *_Before your e-banking logins, make sure that the name just before ".com" is the name of your bank. Eg: "something. icicibank.com" belongs to icici; but, "icicibank. some1else.com" belongs to_ _"some1else."_* 

 *_👆This is a very Simple, but an Important and Necessary Piece of Information.👆_*

*_PLS PASS IT ON... (You may save someone from a Lot of Grief).*
