Comparing fake websites to real websites:

Fake Websites: http://abcnews.com.co

Real Websites: https://abcnews.go.com/

Although I couldn’t find three fake websites due to them being blocked from the browser I have listed a fake website that was supposed to be ABC News and compared it to the actual link for the ABC News. For the fake website, what makes it fake is the URL with the URL for it to be secure the URL should have HTTPS and not HTTP like the fake ABC news as HTTPS indicates security, or if it doesn’t start with an HTTPS at all it would be considered fake. Another way to detect the website being fake is if the URL has extra letters at the end like “.co” instead of just “edu”, “.com”, and “.org”.
