Online shopping and online banking are becoming increasingly popular on the Internet because of their convenience and accessibility. On the Internet, you can transfer money or make transactions at any time. According to iResearch released "2008-2009 China online payment industry development report" shows: China's Internet payment market transaction scale in 2008 year-on-year growth of 181%, reaching 274.3 billion yuan, becoming the fastest growing Internet industry. Among them, online shopping, air tickets accounted for half of the country.

While people enjoy the convenience of shopping and paying online, you have to be wary of phishing traps. Phishing website fraud occurs when lawbreakers trick customers into entering bank card numbers, passwords, passwords or important personal identity data in the form of fake bank websites or shopping websites to steal customer funds or information to carry out illegal activities. Especially during the summer vacation and National Day holiday, some criminals disguise themselves as well-known booking websites or shopping websites, and then use pre-designed traps to defraud users of money. Because the form of phishing can often reach the point of authenticity, it can only rely on consumers 'own knowledge and risk awareness to prevent it.

Phishing is self-evident for consumers, but businesses often face more serious losses, including loss of brand image, loss of consumer confidence in e-commerce, and so on. In particular, it is very difficult and time-consuming for enterprises to establish trust with online customers, but losing trust can only take a blink of an eye. Once trust is damaged by phishing fraud, it can be prohibitively expensive for businesses to make up for these losses.

EVTrust Five Tips to Identify Phishing Sites

According to the survey, people often overlook some small places when browsing websites, resulting in falling into the trap of phishing websites. The so-called phishing website is a fake website that looks like the target website. Creating a fake bank online is very simple and saves money. All page content only needs to be copied from the website of the real bank. The swindler only needs to spend money to rent server space, buy a domain name, and spend dozens of dollars to get it. EVTrust offers the following tips:

1. The website address is "https://":"s" in "https://" indicates that the website has been encrypted, which means that an SSL secure encryption channel has been established between the client browser and the Web server. At this time, confidential information such as credit card number and transaction password input by the user online will not be viewed, stolen and modified during network transmission, and the input information has security protection.

2. Watch out for lock icons: SSL technology automatically activates browsers to display a "lock" security symbol, which must appear in the actual browser interface, not just in the content of the web page, to make sense. When customers visit the website, they can verify the true identity of the website by clicking on the golden security lock.

3. Watch out for trust marks: trust marks can clearly indicate whether the website is certified, whether it has security protection, how the company's reputation is, and so on. For example, websites with Symantec(VeriSign)SSL Certificates can also have a Symantec(VeriSign) website security seal. The logo is placed on the website to remind online users that all online submissions are protected by high-intensity encryption transmission. Click on the stamp to reveal the details of the website. Members of well-known domestic websites, such as Yahoo Shopping merchants and Alibaba TrustPass, have adopted this method to express their identity and convey trust to buyers.

4. Double-check URLs: Be sure to double-check URLs in the address bar to make sure they are spelled correctly. A website without fame is even more suspicious if it contains the name of a well-known website in the second half of the URL.

5. Select a high-security browser to see the "green" address bar and other visual information: Choose a browser with high security, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), Firefox Safari, Google Chrome and Opera, which can clearly identify Symantec.(VeriSign) Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates, when a user enters a website address, the user can immediately see the address bar turning green, along with the name of the website owner's organization and information about the security provider that issued the certificate for their website, such as Symantec(VeriSign) websites.

As Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates become more visible on banking and e-commerce websites, it has become an industry standard for online security, and consumers have higher expectations of websites when browsing web pages with Extended Validation (EV) SSL Certificates. If companies master these e-commerce security techniques, their online businesses can seize the opportunity to meet consumer expectations and boost sales.
