HTTPS makes use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificates to encrypt traffic between web servers and clients. HTTPS is HTTP with an extra layer on top, the TLS/SSL encryption layer. This layer ensures that both the client and the server can continue to speak HTTP with each other, but over a secure connection. Some of the latest threats originate from thriving dark web marketplaces for these certificates, which often come packaged with other cybercrime services. Some packages include cybercrime websites, website design services and payment services.”]
