“Only pay via the website’s secure payment method—look for a web address starting with ‘https’ and a closed padlock symbol“
Someone should notify the Australian govt. that a padlock and https do not equate to security.
- quickthrower2 8y ago"Only" implies necessary but not sufficient here.
- LeonM 8y ago"Never pay via a website with an address that does not start with HTTPS" would maybe be better? The padlock is the first step, and possibly the most impactful security check that a non-technical person can do. Recognising Fake webpages, XSS, CSP, malware, etc is very hard and impossible to expect from any visitor of a website.
