Google continues in its efforts to end internet insecurity. Now it aims to alert users of those websites that they visit and lack the HTTPS protocol. For this you will use your browser, Google Chrome. From now on, a development regarding this will begin to be integrated, however, it will not begin with the notification tasks to users until January 2017, with the launch of a specific version of the company's browser. These alerts will help us not to enter our banking or private information on websites that are at risk due to its low protection and encryption.
These alerts will be displayed when we try to enter passwords or credit cards in the aforementioned web pages, in this way, an exclamation will appear as a pop-up. First these words will mark those non-secure forms, but later they plan to include symbols that make it easier to see at a glance whether or not we are entering data on secure websites.
It has been through the Google security blog where they have explained that using the HTTP protocol is a risk for the safety of Internet users that they must put an end to. Logging in or making payments through these non-curled platforms is very dangerous, with an attack our data can be easily intercepted and moved through the network, both to use and to traffic with them.
For this reason, Google has seen fit to begin the development of this alert, it will inform users through its search engine, one more security measure, which many users will ignore. Remember that the majority of problems of this type are not due to the low security of the webs, but to the few preventive practices of common users.
