A website that looks secure asks for both password and payment secret number. What is the correct decision?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Treat the request as suspicious and verify the source
A professional-looking website or a padlock symbol alone does not prove that a request is genuine. Passwords and payment secrets are sensitive, so an unexpected request should be treated cautiously. The student should independently open the official service, check the address and contact details, and avoid entering information until the source is verified. Sharing or paying immediately increases risk.
