With HTTPS in place, a potential adversary can no longer see your password or other sensitive information that you might share to a website. Let’s take a real-world example of what browsing without encryption looks like: This means that (1) any hackers on your network, (2) your network administrator, (3) your ISP and any entity they might share data with (like governmental authorities), (4) the ISP of the site you are visiting and any entity they might share data with, and of course (5) the site you are visiting itself all have access to quite a bit of potentially sensitive information.

When you browse the internet without encryption, the information you type into a site (like passwords, account numbers, or messages), and the details of the site and pages you are visiting are all exposed.

Always make sure you are connecting to websites securely: make sure the URL (location) starts with “https'' and shows a small lock icon in the address bar of your browser.

The most important step to limiting an adversary’s ability to surveil your organization online is to minimize the amount of information available about you and your colleagues’ internet activity.
