Computer Tips & Tricks and Vulnerabilities

Steps to recognize Phishing Site

1. Lock Symbol
2. Https
3. URL

1) Lock Symbol

Make sure that when you are using facebook,gmail,ymail & others mail,bank services you have the lock symbol as in the above pic.
When you click on the lock symbol,you can find the info about the site that you're trying to login and you could also see the web certificates,public key used for encryption etc...
This would tell yu whether that site is a verified one or not

2) HTTPS

The Secure Http connection is used to send the information from the client to server in a encrypted format.
Make sure you always use an encrypted connection while trying to login to your facebook,gmail,etc..
Without the secure connection, the information yu send over the network is visible and can be cracked through various hacking tools which I'll cover it up in the later posts.
Try to use a https:// connection as far as possible

3) URL

Final step is to make sure that the url is a familiar and a known one to you.
Never ever disclose your passwords on any site other than the original one.
Banking, Social Networking and Web mail sites would never ask for your passwords through email or any other ways.


To be safe follow the 3 steps while logging in,I guess this would help you out of phishing.
