HTTP and HTTPSYou need to be careful when clicking on a link.

The differences between HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) are as follows:
1. Security: HTTPS encrypts communication, ensuring that data is transmitted securely. Websites using HTTPS transmit user information (such as usernames, passwords, credit card details) more securely. HTTP, on the other hand, does not encrypt communication, potentially exposing data to interception by malicious entities. 2. Certificate: HTTPS requires an SSL/TLS certificate, which verifies the identity of the website and indicates that communication is encrypted. This assures users that they are communicating with the correct website and that their data is being transmitted securely. HTTP does not require such a certificate.

When clicking on a link, here are some things to consider:

1. Security: Especially when accessing sites containing sensitive information (such as banking or shopping sites), prefer sites using HTTPS. This ensures that your personal information is transmitted more securely.
2. Trustworthiness: Check where the link leads before clicking. Avoid clicking on links to untrustworthy or unknown sites, as this may increase the risk of encountering malware or phishing attempts.
3. URL accuracy: When clicking on a link, check the URL in the address bar. URLs of trusted sites are typically accurate and recognizable. If it looks suspicious or unexpectedly redirects to a different site, exercise caution. These measures will help you navigate the internet securely and safely.
