More often than not, the most dangerous and common variety of fake website is one that pretends that it is a legitimate website by copying it’s URL and layout to the best of the hackers abilities. However, there are several indicators of a websites validity, the first being obvious. More often than not, fake websites are not HTTPS secured and their certificates are false. This is easily identifiable by the lock that appears next to the URL. If it is unlocked, the best idea is to leave the website as soon as possible, as it is not legitimate. Another indicator is the potential misspelling of the websites URL. This is more difficult to spot if you don’t remember the exact URL of the original website. However, it is still a good thing to check whether or not the URL has the correct spelling to the best of your abilities.
