Secure Internet Transactions

 

Before you input personal or financial information on a Web page, first make sure the site offers a secure--that is, encrypted--data transaction.

There are two ways you can check whether a Web page provides a secure data transaction:

  1. An icon of a lock will appear in the bottom strip of the Web browser page.

  2. The URL for the Web page will change from "http" to "https" for the page at which you input the personal data.
