- Investigate every link’s final destination - To find out if a link is real, hover over it with your mouse and look at the link’s destination in the lower-left corner of your browser.
This is the real destination, regardless of what the text says.
This is how it looks when you hover the mouse to a "hyperlink"
. Hyperlink is like a normal link but it's form can be a text, image, icon or graphic that can link you to a file, document or link. Refer to image above. This one is an image that you can see the link directly without hovering the mouse.
Take Note: Some link are not what you think, it may be a link as you can see but it's not just a link but a hyper link.
Example:
https://www.google.com/#spf=1581364113135 = This one looks like the link of the google website but when you click the link it will redirect you to bitcointalk.org.
- Look for the “s” in https://website.com- Some websites start with HTTP:// and others with https://. The “s” in the latter stands for secure and will show a little lock icon next to it.
Those websites are safest for browsing and purchasing. Stick to secure websites whenever possible.
Nope. HTTPS does not mean that the site is good for browsing and purchasing. It only means data is transferred over a secure connection. There are plenty of malicious sites, scam sites using HTTPS. And there are plenty of good site still using HTTP too.
HTTPS does NOT mean legit site. Be careful guys.
It is true that some HTTPS websites are not legit. Even the phishing sites does have HTTPS just like the other legit websites out there.
