Safeonweb Browser Extension

For every website you visit, the Safeonweb Browser Extension shows you if the owner has been validated (Green) or not (Amber). Websites without a validated owner (Amber) should be suited for reading only. To share personal and sensitive information you can expect the owner of the web site to be validated (Green). If a hacker puts malicious content on a website with a validated owner, the validation status will change to Amber or Red directly after the first notification. Known malicious or insecure websites are marked as Red. The Extension allocates a score: - Green (OK): the website owner has an Extended Validation Certificate issued by a Certificate Authority or the site owner is registered on atwork.safeonweb.be. Therefore: o It should be OK to continue surfing on this website. o It should be OK to share data on this website. - Amber (!): the website owner has an Organisation Validation Certificate, or a Domain Validation Certificate issued by a Certificate Authority, and the website is not registered on atwork.safeonweb.be Therefore: o It should be OK to continue surfing on this website. o If any doubts, refrain from sharing data on this website. - Red (X): the website lacks basic security features or is known as malicious. The website owner has no Certificate and therefore has not been validated. Therefore: o We advise against browsing this website and sharing any data. /!\ The Safeonweb Browser Extension does NOT replace your anti-virus. It does NOT check if a virus is present on your computer. The Extension does NOT check website contents or what is exchanged with the website. /!\ Please ensure to always use the last version of the Extension published. /!\ All versions prior to 1.8.2 are decommissioned and will no longer work. /!\ The Centre for Cybersecurity Belgium (CCB) is the national authority for cybersecurity in Belgium (https://ccb.belgium.be/).
