Question

Which of the following indicates a website is NOT secure?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) a lock icon is not displayed in the address bar

(d) the url of the website begins with http

Explanation:

The lock item in the address bar is proof that the communication between your computer and the website is secure because it indicates that the communication is encrypted. If it is not there therefore, the communication is not secure.

Websites with Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) are secured as the communication is encrypted by the use of Transport Layer Security unlike websites with the basic HTTP. Visits to such sites are therefore riskier as there is a higher chance of information theft.

Answer 2

The website is not secure when its not displaying a lock, missing an updated SSL and does start with an HTTP instead of HTTPS.

• There are many methods of checking that a website is secure is not correct by the use of various software tools like domain blocker, website checker etc.

Hence the option D is correct that is the URL of the website begins with HTTP.
