Fake links and look-alike websites — Cyber safety for kids
Fake websites copy the look and the name of real ones. To check a link, find its owner: ignore everything after a /, then read the name just before the ending — in this course every address ends in .example, a practice ending that is never a real site. If Kite Bank’s real site is kitebank.example, then www.kitebank.example and kitebank.example/help are real, but k1tebank.example (1 for i), kitebnak.example (swapped letters), kitebank-prize.example (extra word) and kitebank.win.example (owned by win.example) are fakes.
