How do you tell if a website is safe to use?
Let's play a little game. I have a list of websites below and what I want you to do is decide whether you think each is safe or not to use (ie. would you login, make purchases from, use their services, etc...). Maybe they look reputable? Maybe you've heard of them before? Maybe you'd expect it to be? You can determine this however you like, which means you don't have to click on any either. I haven't used any URL shortening services nor any forum trickery. The URLs are all posted with [url] tags.
Ready?

Done? Click below.[spoiler]They're all unsafe. Really.
All of these websites store your passwords in plaintext. Meaning, anyone who has access to the database (including if it's compromised like Snapchat or Sony Pictures' were) can read them.
Were you surprised by any that you thought were safe?

1 답변I generally use "WoT" or "Web of Trust" to avoid bad sites. It's an add on where everybody rates the trustworthiness of the site. I'd imagine they would respond with what's what. :)

1 답변So how do we know if a site we normally frequent and use, like a university webpage, is more secure than these sites you listed?

2 답변As I was going down the list, I thought none of them because I have no clue what some are, and refuse to buy from random sites. Glad to see I was right. Also, I'm pretty sure you should avoid sites that lack an HTTPS in the url when you log-in.

작성자: Progo 1/20/2014 4:32:07 PMI only allow my financial information on very reputable sites, such as Amazon. Everyone else I manage through PayPal if possible, even though I'm not a huge fan of PP. Which means those sites are given my "tertiary passwords" which will not give them access to anything important.

작성자: FatherlyNick 1/20/2014 4:20:29 PMHow hard is it to hash stuff? See this is what happens when you hire those 'java crash course' programmers to work for you, they might pass the interview questions but their wider knowledge is so limited! This is unbelivable!
