Attention to online safety is an issue that should not be underestimated. Surfing every day on various sites, from PCs and smartphones, exposes our personal data to the risk of being stolen by malicious parties. No matter whether for work or leisure, regularly visiting web portals requires the adoption of precise precautions to avoid being easy victims of online scams.
A good up-to-date antivirus may suffice when you surf the Internet without sharing your sensitive data. If, on the other hand, you make purchases, play online or resort to paid services, the situation changes completely. In these cases, confidential information is shared, such as the current account or credit card number, home address, access passwords. It is therefore essential to adopt a series of precautions so as not to take unnecessary risks.

In addition, search the site for information that guarantees secure browsing using SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates, a valid system for encrypting all data exchanged on the servers. Checking for the presence of a padlock icon in the browser address bar allows you to instantly understand that our information is safe and not accessible to third parties.
Surf and play on secure sites
It is essential to navigate on reliable portals, suspecting immediately from those who offer fantastic promotions at incredibly low prices, regardless of the type of product, be it a mobile phone or a pair of shoes. Buy only from verified sites and possibly use a prepaid credit card not associated with any current account. It is also effective to read the reviews of other users before subscribing to a particular service.
In the context of online gaming, the State meets us thanks to the contribution of the Customs and Monopolies Agency, which has prepared a series of measures aimed at combating illegality.
