Fake websites, have become honeypots for unsuspecting people lured there to enter their details and fall victim to scammers...

Cybercriminals are increasingly turning to fraudulent websites as a means to deceive unsuspecting individuals and abscond with their identities, sensitive information, and hard-earned money.

Cybercriminals exhibit adeptness in leveraging cutting-edge technology and tools to fabricate counterfeit websites that convincingly masquerade as legitimate, even to the most astute internet users. Compounding the issue, legitimate websites are also susceptible to malware infiltrations. Various avenues, including code vulnerabilities or hacking assaults, can lead to website contamination. Once infected, these websites can harbor viruses or scripts that execute automatically upon site visitation. Engineers design these malicious elements to capture entered information, putting sensitive data at risk.

– Inspect the SSL or TLS certificate, located at the URL bar’s upper-left corner. Clicking on the certificate permits validation of its legitimacy. Even though the padlock icon appears to indicate a secure site, attackers can manipulate it. Thus, relying solely on the padlock falls short of gauging a website’s authenticity.
