Security icons
Connection status icons help you understand how secure a website is:
|
Icon |
Description |
|
|
An unprotected HTTP protocol is used. We do not recommend entering any personal information (especially your payment data) on such sites, as hackers can easily steal it. |
|
|
Uses the HTTPS protocol, which protects data being sent by encrypting it. Make sure the page header shows this icon before you begin entering confidential information on a website (like your bank card number). |
|
|
Data transfer may not be secure. This icon appears if the page has a form that sends data over the HTTP protocol without encryption, or if Yandex is not familiar with the publisher of the page’s locally-installed certificate, or if images load over an unsecure protocol on a page that loads over HTTPS. |
|
|
Antishock has blocked some of the page content. |
|
|
This webpage could harm your tablet. The website’s certificate might have expired or been revoked. |
If you tap the icon in the SmartBox, the Protect toolbar will appear where you can get more detailed information about the connection status and also enable or disable:
- Website notifications.
- Antishock extension.
