About 9,500 Malicious Websites Detected by Google Daily

(Google detects about 9,500 malicious websites and pop ups daily.)

Google’s Safe Browsing Program has already served more than 600 million users since its launch 5 years ago. Daily, Google detects about 9,500 malicious websites and pop ups and consistently sends warnings to users of the potential harm.

The program seems to be meeting its objective, but since the number of cyber threats and phishing attacks are continuously increasing, internet users must be more cautious and vigilant.

Although Google is consistently looking for the best measures to keep their users safe, internet users must also do their part by not ignoring the warnings and through having the knowledge of distinguishing between an SSL secured site and an unsecure site.

What’s in the Address Bar?

The address bar is not simply the area where you’ll find or type in the website you like to visit. It also contains some information helpful in differentiating between a secure and non-secure website.

For websites encrypted with DV and OV SSL Certificates, the HTTP in the address bar will be replaced by HTTPS. The padlock is also present suggesting a secure connection.

Due to the ever-increasing cyber attacks, many companies are using advanced SSL certificates, GlobalSign Extended Validation (EV) SSL being one, to assure customers that they’re on the genuine site. EV SSL activates the green address bar is activated making it easier for users to notice that the website they’re browsing is secure.

Dangers of Self-Signed SSL Certificates

Not everything that’s free is free. Using self-signed certificates (which are free) can lengthen your expense list in the long run.

A number of entrepreneurs, especially those just starting on their ecommerce businesses, are tempted to use self-signed SSL certificates instead of those issued and verified by a trusted Certification Authority mainly because of the price difference. Unlike CA issued certificates which are purchased at a certain price, self-signed certificates are free of charge. What most users are not aware of is that self-signed certificates can cost them more in the long run.  

While self-signed SSL certificates also encrypts customer’s log in and other personal account credentials, they prompt most web servers to display a security alert because the certificate was not verified by a trusted Certification Authority. More often, the web server advises computer users to abort browsing the page for security reasons.

This drives away potential clients for the fear that the website does not secure their credentials.  That’s two losses in one: brand reputation and customer trust.

It is not always practical to go for what’s free. SSL certificates issued by trusted Certification Authorities such as GlobalSign are good investments for they facilitate the growth of customer trust and loyalty which are paramount for businesses to have increased sales volume.
