# Protect: secure your bank cards

## Security warning {#off}

Hackers may try to get your payment information (card number, name, expiration data, and [CVV2](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_security_code)) in order to then use this data to steal money from your account. Your payment information may be at risk in the following situations:

- The online payment form was published on a fraudulent website.
- The site accepts payments by card but it doesn't use a secure [HTTPS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP) connection.
- The site uses a [certificate that Yandex doesn't recognize](https://browser.yandex.by/help/en/security/untrusted-sertificates.md).
- The payment form is located on a different domain than that of the main site.

When you enter your bank card number, there are two types of warnings that Yandex Browser may display:

- There is a clear risk that your data will be stolen. In this case, the [SmartBox](*smart-link) displays the ![](../_image/card-protection-icon-red.png) icon and a warning window opens.
- There is no clear risk of data theft, but there may be a potential security problem. In this case, the SmartBox will display the ![](../_image/card-protection-icon-grey.png) icon.

When you enter your bank card number, there are two types of warnings that Yandex Browser may display:

{% list tabs %}

- Risk of data theft

  ![](../_image/card-dangerous.png)

- Potential security problem

  ![](../_image/card-suspicious.png)

{% endlist %}

Click the card icon in the SmartBox to learn more about the problem. You will see one of the messages:

#|
|| **Message** | **What it means** ||
||
You are entering card number **** on **example.com**, which doesn't use reliable encryption. Your payment details may be intercepted by hackers.
|
Yandex considers the site to be suspicious or the site uses the non-secure HTTP protocol during payment processing.

Don't proceed with payment, otherwise hackers may get access to your payment data.
||

||
“Certificate name” can see your bank card information.
|
Yandex does not recognize [the site certificate](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_certificate) (certificates confirm a site's authenticity and are part of the data encryption process over HTTPS).

[Check the origin of the certificate](https://browser.yandex.by/help/en/security/untrusted-sertificates.md) and decide if you trust it.
||

||
The connection with this site is not encrypted, but your bank card data will be sent to **example.com**, which is secure.
|
The form you use to enter your payment information is located on a different site from the one where the payment is actually made. It's likely that you ended up on a [phishing](https://yandex.com/support/common/en/security/phishing.html) page.

Make sure that you trust the site where the payment form is located.
||

Your bank card information will be sent to a different, secure site — **example.com**.

The form you use to enter your payment information is located on a different site from the one where the payment is actually made. It's likely that you ended up on a [phishing](https://yandex.com/support/common/en/security/phishing.html) page.

Make sure that you trust the site where the payment form is located.
