Website safety guides
Short, practical and free of scare tactics. Each guide ends with a way to check a specific site.
How to tell if a website is safe
Nine quick checks before you trust a website with a password, a card or a file: address, HTTPS, age, contact details, reviews and what other people reported.
Is it safe to pay on this website?
A short checklist for paying online: card versus bank transfer, checkout page address, saved cards, and what to do if you already paid a site you now distrust.
Is it safe to log in to this website?
How to avoid phishing and fake login pages: check the address, use a password manager, turn on two-factor sign-in, and what to do if you typed a password on a fake site.
Is it safe to upload files to a website?
What to know before uploading a document, photo or ID: where it is stored, who can see it, whether it is deleted, and which files you should never upload.
What to do after visiting a scam website
Visited or entered details on a suspicious site? A calm step-by-step: what matters, what does not, how to secure accounts and money, and where to report it.
Rather just check a site?
Type any website to see what people reported, split by activity.
