Another security threat comes from online shopping sites that do not have sufficient security. Most major sites that allow you to pay by card use the encrypted HTTPS protocol. Some sites, however, still use the unsecure HTTP protocol. All it takes is one transaction with a site whose security isn’t up-to-date to expose your card information to hackers.
If the site uses the unsecure HTTP protocol, or Protect knows that it is fraudulent, you will see a warning and will be able to stop it from sending your card information.
