                  IF YOU KNEW THIS...GOOD.  IF YOU DIDN'T... NOW YOU  DO.
 PLEASE BE SURE TO SHARE.

                        Some very good information!!


                  Subject: http

                  What  is the difference between http  and https ?  Don't
 know how many of you are aware of this difference, but
 it is worth sending to any that do not.....

                  **The  main difference between http:// and https:// is
 it's all about keeping you secure.**  HTTP stands for
 Hyper Text Transfer Protocol.

                  The S (big surprise) stands for "Secure."  If you visit
 a website or web page, 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 unsecured 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 an 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, you should NEVER enter sensitive
 information...such as a credit card number, SS # etc.

                  PASS IT ON (You may save someone a lot of grief).
