Question

Explain one way that you could tell from the URL wether the site is genuine.

Answer 1

Check the SSL Certificate

Look at the URL of the website. If it begins with “https” instead of “http” it means the site is secured using an SSL Certificate (the s stands for secure). SSL Certificates secure all of your data as it is passed from your browser to the website’s server. To get an SSL Certificate, the company must go through a validation process.

Check SSL certificate if https then website is genuine
