A fake login page last month took me back to early web security.

I almost fell for a spoofed site while online shopping. I remembered when we just worried about viruses, not fake websites. Now, I always check for HTTPS and the correct URL. It's a small step that can save a lot of trouble. Times have changed for sure.

Saw on KrebsOnSecurity that fake shopping sites are huge right now. @paige_taylor69, I get the urge to click, but double-checking the url saves so much hassle.
