I did buy online but I never discover such an importance factor until I read this message. This is a must know knowledge for all the online users. No matter what transaction you do online, please beware of this.
I did checked and I found that all banks and even though PayPal are with the https in frond. That's mean all of them are secure websites.
So when you buying anything online, make sure you provide your info to a site which having https in front!
If you already know this, forgive me who is a frog living in well. :P

Dear friends,
I never knew that is why I never pay online, now I know.
If you already know, share with friends who not know.
Best regards,
The main difference between http:// and https:// is
It's all about keeping you secure HTTP stands for HyperText Transport Protocol, which is just a fancy way of saying it's a protocol (a language, in a manner of speaking) for information to be passed back and forth between web servers and clients.
The important thing is the letter S which makes the difference between HTTP and HTTPS. The S (big surprise)stands for 'Secure'.
If you visit a website or webpage, and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the following: http://. This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 'unsecure' language.
In other words, it is possible for someone to 'eavesdrop' on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send to that site.
This is why you never ever ever enter your credit card number in an http website!
But if the web address beg ins with https://, that basically means your computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can eavesdrop on.
You understand why this is so important, right?
If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. If it doesn't, there's no way you're going to enter sensitive information like a credit card number!
Please remember when you buy any thing online make sure passing your information on the website showing https REPEAT https....... .... don't doing anything that is

Good tip, I vaguely recall something those lines but never understood how https worked.
Great advice - the https:// is not known by enough people, hence why they click through junk emails and phishing emails.
I appreciate you sharing this information, I never noticed that big difference. All I look for in secured website is just the secure logo. I'll spread this info to my friends. Thanks a lot!
Good advice!thanks! unfortunately not many know this difference; I asked my colleagues at work and they didn't have a clue. I knew smth about this issue, but never payed enough attention to it!
