When visiting a website for online banking, what should you look for in the browser's address bar to ensure your financial information is being transmitted securely?
A padlock symbol and 'https://' before the website's domain name
A green color in the address bar
The presence of 'www.' before the website's domain name
'http://' before the website's domain name
In a browser's address bar, the presence of 'https://' before the website's domain name indicates that the connection between your browser and the web server is encrypted. The 'https://' protocol uses encryption to secure data in transit, which helps protect sensitive information like financial details from being intercepted. The padlock symbol adds another visual cue that the site is using a secure connection. While some browsers previously used a green color in the address bar for sites with Extended Validation (EV) certificates, this practice has been discontinued by most major browsers and is no longer a reliable indicator.
