Answer:

When you visit a website, your computer and the web server communicate using a protocol known as HTTP. This stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol. HTTPS  stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure does encryption of data between a client and a server, which protects against eavesdropping, forging of information and tampering of data.

Explanation:

One weakness of HTTP is that the information passing between your computer and the website is not encrypted. This means it is theoretically possible for an attacker to intercept, read, and even modify the contents. This could enable them to steal sensitive information, or trick you into clicking a malicious link. Another weakness is that there is no way for your computer to verify the identity of a website using HTTP. This means it is theoretically possible for an attacker to impersonate the site you’re visiting.
