The AMW Safety Center and the National Consumers League have put together a public awareness video about secure online shopping.

Some of the tips in the above video include:

• Looking for https or shttp domain names
• Don’t fall for pop-up boxes
• Look over return and privacy policies
• Use a credit card to protect your interests (fraud departments can help you get money back)

Of course, if you remember the survey we posted last week, legitimate websites host 68% of the malware online, so trusting a website is not a guarantee of safety any longer.
