Question:
Is shopping online in www.goods.ph safe?
Answer:
Greetings from ipl2,
I understand you want to know if www.goods.ph is a trustworthy online shopping website.
http://www.goods.ph does not use SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption, so it is not safe to provide financial information over its connection as that information can be stolen. There are two indications that Goods.ph does not have SSL: there is no “lock” icon next to the address in the browser’s address bar (checked with Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox), and the website begins with “http://” rather than “https://” (the “s” signifies SSL encryption). To familiarize yourself with how to determine whether a website is trustworthy, please see the following websites.
