Journal Entry #6

The fake websites:

  • Example:paypa1.com

I think it is fake because of the misspelling of “paypal,”  which often the attacker made to try to steal your account information or login username and password.

  • Example:”BOFA.com”

It is fake because it shows us the typo in the name, which is made to fraud individuals to misguide them from the real one.

  • Example:”amazon-shopping.com”

Fake for using a non-official domain so it can trick people to provide there personal information to it.

Real Websites:

  • Example: “paypal.com”

It is real because you can see it from the correct spelling and secure “https” protocol.

  • Example: “bankofamerica.com”

It is an authentic site because, again, it uses the correct spelling and proper brand name and it has a secure connection.

  • Example: “amazon.com”

It is an official website that it has been herded from; it is verified, and it has a reputation.

Key Indicators of Fake Sites: The misspellings and the difference in the URL There is no secure connection with NO sample of this sign “https.” The poor design or not famous website.
