What is a phishing website? How can we prevent phishing websites? Many people do not understand, today, in order to let you know more about the fishing website, so to sum up the following content, let's look down together.

Phishing websites are conceptually websites disguised as banks and e-commerce to steal private information such as bank accounts and passwords submitted by users. This article will give you a detailed description of how to identify phishing sites and how to prevent them.

Suppose you want to visit an online shopping site (assuming that the URL is www.xxx.com), but you can't remember too clearly that the URL of the website was mistakenly typed as www.xxx.cn. Then you are likely to visit a phishing website.

The phishing website will make the page of the website exactly the same as the original website. when the user enters the phishing website by mistake, it will habitually log in with the account password, because the website that the user sees is basically the same as the original website. then when the user enters the account password on the phishing site, your account password will be obtained by the phishing site. Then the phishing website will enter the website of your principle according to your account password and transfer the money from your account.

For users, to distinguish phishing sites can only be based on the domain name of the site. Users need to carefully identify the URL of the real website in order to identify the phishing URL. But not everyone can clearly figure out the URL given to the website. If the website is still a HTTP website, it is actually very difficult to distinguish phishing sites.

But if the site is a HTTPS site, it is completely different, users can easily identify phishing sites.

HTTPS websites will install a HTTPS certificate in the website server, and the HTTPS certificate can be simply understood as a website ID card issued by CA institutions to each website. When the user visits the website, the server will pass the website ID card to the browser. Users can identify the owner of the current visiting site by viewing the HTTPS certificate.

In this way, all the phishing sites will have nothing to hide. Because the real identity information of the enterprise needs to be verified when applying for a HTTPS certificate, the HTTPS certificate will not be issued until it has passed the verification audit. So the illegal organization of the phishing website, it is impossible to pass the verification audit, thus can not get the HTTPS certificate.

When a user visits a HTTPS website, the name of the company that processes the site will be displayed in the browser's address bar or in the HTTPS certificate. Users can easily know whether the current site is a real site. The figure below is as follows

Deal with a HTTPS website can prevent phishing website very effectively, if you are also a webmaster, if your company also has a website, if your website is still HTTP website, so for your website security and your user information security, hurriedly apply for a HTTPS certificate, also upgrade your website to HTTPS website.

HTTPS certificate securely encrypts the website, which can effectively prevent hijacking, prevent your website from being maliciously implanted with advertisements, prevent tampering and monitoring from leaking users' passwords, and optimize the SEO ranking of search engines with HTTPS certificates.
