Verify that a site is secure  by looking for \u201chttps\u201d at the beginning of the URL or the small lock  icon that appears in the web address bar.

Some sites use \u201chttp,\u201d which is not secure.<\/li><li><strong>Encrypt your data.<\/strong> Even if a site uses https, the  hosts of that site can often still access your data.
