Secure connection

If you open a site with an insecure HTTP connection in the app, the icon will appear in the SmartBox in front of the site name. It's a warning that the site doesn't use encryption, so you shouldn't enter your personal data (passwords or bank card details) on it.

On such sites, hackers can:

  • Intercept or replace your personal data and read your correspondence.
  • Get your payment data (card number, cardholder's name, expiry date, and CVV2) and use it to steal money from your account.
