Hello World!
When I’m in Internet I always thik if I can trust one or another web site. Today I have striked the article by Dennis O’Reilly. Whe writes about this problem.
“The other day I heard a radio commercial claim that more than half of all health-related Web sites are fronts for law firms trolling for potential malpractice-suit clients. I immediately doubted the ad’s claim. First, it didn’t cite a source for the high percentage of illegitimate health sites it stated. Second, it was an ad itself (for a law firm trolling for potential malpractice-suit clients, of all things). And third, it glossed over the actual name of the firm, but repeated its toll-free number over and over.
Still, the ad got me thinking about all the bogus Web sites out there, and how people can protect themselves in the absence of any third-party monitoring of Web information. There are some controls in place for making safe Web purchases, principal among them are Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates, which are designed to ensure the security of Web servers. When you visit an SSL server, it places a small lock icon in the bottom-right corner of the browser window, and the URL in the address bar begins with “https:”. Even these can be spoofed, however, so they shouldn’t be your only consideration when deciding whether to trust a site with your credit card numbers.”
