Llttle computer tip in case you did not know The difference between http 

and https...  the little thing that means a lot. 

The main difference between http:/// <http://>  and https://. . . . 

It's all about security - HTTP stands for Hyper Text Transport Protocol.   

The S (big surprise)stands for "Secure".  If you visit a website or webpage,


and look at the address in the web browser, it will likely begin with the 

following: http://. 

This means that the website is talking to your browser using the regular 

'unsecure' language. In other words, it is possible for someone to 

"eavesdrop" on your computer's conversation with the website. If you fill 

out a form on the website, someone might see the information you send 

to that site. 

This is why you never ever enter your credit card number in a http website!


But if the web address begins with https:// that basically means your 

computer is talking to the website in a secure code that no one can 

eavesdrop on.  You understand why this is so important, right? 

  

If a website ever asks you to enter your credit card information, you should


automatically look to see if the web address begins with https://. ; If it 

doesn't, there's no way you should ever enter sensitive information like a 

credit card number, PIN, Social Security #, etc.
