For this entry, I am going to compare three fake websites to three real websites. Additionally, I will explain what makes the fake websites fake. It is important to note that these examples of fake websites that I am going to be using are no longer in existence. This is due to them being exposed by security professionals and from Internet vendors taking them down to prevent further malicious activity. The three examples of fake websites are alderandcostore.com, coolmencarft.com, and finedealsstore.com. Fake websites can usually be detected if one knows the signals. One sign that stands out about fake websites is that the design quality is poor. Scammers do not put a lot of effort into the design of these fake websites, so there may be low-quality visuals and/or odd layouts. Another sign is in the domain name. Often, the domain names of these fake websites will contain a spelling error or two of the letters in the domain name will be swapped. The third sign will be that the search bar that contains the domain name of the website will not have a padlock symbol. This is used to verify to the viewer that the website is secure and has a SSL certificate. This can sometimes not be the case because there a lot of fake websites out there that are beginning to have SSL certificates, but the user can click on the symbol to get more information about the website. Three examples of real websites include www.odu.edu, www.udemy.com, and www.nsa.gov. All of these websites have a security padlock in the search bar, a proper website design, and proper domain name spelling. There is no risk associated with these websites and they are legitimate.
