Browser Security 1.2

Browser security includes the measures undertaken to protect user data and system security when using a web browser.

Browser security is important to prevent unauthorized access, data breaches, malware infections, and other cyber threats.

Phishing scams Malware downloads Insecure login forms Cross-site scripting attacks Outdated software vulnerabilities

Use a modern and up-to-date web browser Install a reputable antivirus software and keep it updated Avoid suspicious websites and links Use strong and unique passwords for every site Enable two-factor authentication where available

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secure version of HTTP that encrypts data in transit between the server and the browser, preventing eavesdropping, tampering, and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Look for the HTTPS protocol in the URL, and a padlock icon in the browser's address bar.

Change your passwords immediately Scan your system for malware and viruses Contact the website or service provider for assistance Report the incident to relevant authorities

Browser history can be viewed by anyone with access to your device or network. To keep your browsing private, use private browsing mode, clear your history regularly, use a VPN (Virtual Private Network), or avoid using public Wi-Fi networks.

XSS attack is a type of web vulnerability where an attacker injects malicious code into a website or app that is then executed by unsuspecting users, compromising their data or sessions.

Keep your browser and operating system updated Use reputable security software and firewalls Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading files from untrusted sources
