Technology Stops Internet Fraud
press release
The rate of online crime is on the rise in Australia. According to the study conducted by AVG, 39 per cent of Australians have been a victim of cyber crime – more than any country in the World.
Homebush Karts understands the importance of web security and has implemented the latest proven technology to provide customers with peace of mind.
Why? - Every website that you visit, every email that you send, every piece of data that leaves your computer can be seen by more than just the intended recipient. Thousands of people have their credit details or passwords compromised every day because of poorly designed websites. Entering your details into one of these sites is akin to leaving your car unlocked in a bad neighbourhood.
Properly designed web pages use encryption and authentication techniques to protect the confidentiality of web transactions so that eavesdropping on or tampering with web traffic is almost impossible. This is essential for safely transmitting highly confidential information such as credit card numbers or passwords.
When entering personal information on a website, look in the lower right part of the browser window - if you see a yellow padlock icon, the web page you are viewing is secure. If the box is empty, the web page does not have a secure connection with your browser.
You can also have a look at the web address at the top of your browser: if it starts with [https://], you are on a secured page; if the URL starts with http://, the web page is not.
An additional security feature can be seen on www.karts.com.au. Hover or click on the Comodo logo at the bottom right corner and the website authenticity is verified by a third party trusted company.
