Difference between HTTP and HTTPS

HTTP is stand for Hypertext Transfer Protocol.
You will always see HTTP in front of your link.
What is the S at behind?
It is stand for SECURE.
When you send an information to a web server,
and you are using HTTP,
your computer will send the information to
web server and hackers are possible
to get anything that you key in.
HTTPS let you directly connecting with the web server,
so no one can get the info in the middle of it.
So if you are trying to key in some important info like
credit cards number, online banking, etc.
PLEASE make sure that your web address is with HTTPS!
mostly website that have to entering password
is using HTTPS automatically.
Spread this around to avoid your friends get scammed!
