Connection protection

If you open a site with an insecure HTTP connection in the app, the icon will appear in the SmartBox near the site name. It's a warning that the site doesn't use encryption, which means you need to avoid entering sensitive information like passwords or credit card details on the site.

On these sites, hackers can:

  • Intercept or tamper with your personal data and read your messages.
  • Gain access to your banking details (card number, cardholder name, expiration date, and CVV2) and use them to steal money from your account.
