Let’s face it – we live in “interesting” times.

Fraudulent, fake and untrustworthy websites are all over the Internet these days, and it’s easy to find yourself on one without even realizing it.

According to the researchers at Reboot Online there are currently over a billion websites on the World Wide Web. Unfortunately, not all of them are legitimate.

With all of those sites competing for your clicks from the search engines and links on other websites, it’s extremely important to be able to determine which sites are legitimate and which ones are fraudulent and/or unreliable.

Luckily, there are several things you can do that can help you avoid those “bad” websites.

How to evaluate a listing on a search results page

When you search for something on Google, Bing or most any other search engine you’ll be presented with a list of web pages that (in the opinion of the search engine) best match the word or phrase you searched for.

All of the top-tier search engines try their very best to provide you with the most relevant and safest page suggestions they can come up with for your queries, but sometimes a shady page/website can slip through the cracks and be listed among the legitimate search results.

Here are a few tips that can you identify the “bad” pages and sites before you even click the links to visit them:

1 – Do you see any obvious misspellings in the page title or headline? Does the title contain poorly constructed grammar or appear that it was written by a non-native speaker?

Most legitimate websites go the extra mile to ensure that their page titles and headlines are properly written with all the words spelled correctly. Any obvious errors should immediately raise a huge red flag.

2 – Check the URL of the page to see if it looks safe and legit to you.

The first thing to consider is the extension that’s tacked on to the end of the site’s domain name. Does the extension indicate that the site is based in a foreign country?

Some countries are notorious for being home to scammy and fraudulent websites. A good rule to follow is to be wary of visiting any site with a domain name that ends in anything other than .com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov.

Note: The .edu and .gov extensions are generally considered to be the safest and most trustworthy extensions of all because their use is limited to qualified educational and governmental institutions.

As a general rule, any website with a domain name that ends with one of these extensions can be considered legitimate and safe by default.

Do keep in mind that this is just a general rule. Just because a particular site’s domain name ends in something besides the extensions mentioned above doesn’t automatically mean it’s a bad site. It could indeed be legitimate.

But that being said, with so many sites with the most trustworthy extensions to choose from for the vast majority of searches, why take a chance?

Of course we Americans don’t have a monopoly on legitimate websites, and we have our own share of scammers as well.

If you happen to live somewhere other than the United States you’re probably already familiar with the most common (and most trustworthy) domain extensions that are commonly used in your region. That’s why I recommend that you use your own judgement when deciding whether you should visit a particular website.

Note: The country-specific domain extensions .uk (United Kingdom), .ca (Canada) and .au (Australia) are typically considered to be just as safe and reliable as the most trusted extensions listed above.

How to evaluate a link on a website

1 – Does the link “fit in” with the content or theme of the page or does it appear to be completely out of context?

For example, let’s say you’re reading an article about diabetes. A link to an article about a related ailment on a different website is probably legit whereas a link to a site hawking discount travel vouchers almost certainly isn’t.

2 – Does the URL of the link “match” the site that you’re expecting to go to if you click the link?

For example, if a link’s anchor text or the text surrounding it indicates that you’ll be taken to a Wikipedia page but the URL is actually for a page on a totally different site, you’re probably looking at a fraudulent link.

Note: You can view the actual URL of a link by hovering your mouse pointer over the link and looking at the bottom of the browser window. The actual landing page URL of the link should appear at the bottom of the window as soon as your mouse pointer is placed over the link.

How to get a second (and even third) opinion about websites you are unsure of

If the checks mentioned above leave you uncertain about the the legitimacy or trustworthiness of a site that you’re interested in visiting, there are a couple of third-party “scam-checking” tools that can help you decide whether you should take a chance and click the link:

1 – Get a free Google Transparency Report for the site. Just type the site’s domain name (i.e. example.com) into the search box and press the Enter key. Google will evaluate the website and give you it’s opinion about it’s trustworthiness.

2 – Type the site’s domain name into the search box at ScamAdvisor and you’ll receive their “trust rating” for the site along with a bunch of other information you can use to make your own evaluation of the site’s trustworthiness.

How to evaluate a website that you’re already viewing

The tips mentioned above can help you identify many fraudulent websites before you even click the link to visit them, but unfortunately that isn’t always the case. There will indeed be times when you click a legitimate-looking link that takes you to a bad site.

These tips will help you identify a fraudulent or untrustworthy website by its content:

1 – Is the content of the page pretty close to what you expected to find before you clicked the link?

For example, if you clicked a link expecting to be taken to a page filled with tips for photographing wildlife but the actual article itself is a camera review, you have probably been duped.

2 – Is the article littered with misspelled words and poor grammar?

Unlike titles and headlines, long articles often contain a misspelled word or two and an occasional grammatical error, even if the article itself is legitimate.

However, if every other sentence has a misspelled word or reads like it was written by a first-grader, you should probably click the “Back button” and find a more reliable source for your information.

3 – Does the page contain an excessive number of ads or content of an “adult” nature?

If you find yourself on a page that has a dozen ads surrounding one or two short paragraphs of content or material of an adult nature, you’re probably on a website that was created to make the owner a quick buck, not to serve as a credible source of useful information.

Phishing attacks are “socio-technical,” exploiting both technology and human psychology to bypass defenses.
After a malicious click, attackers act with alarming speed—often within minutes—to steal credentials or deploy malware.
A single compromised account can quickly escalate into a full network breach, leading to significant financial, operational, and reputational damage for your business.
A proactive, multi-layered security strategy, combined with immediate incident response, is your best defense against these evolving threats.

Meta announced today that it is splitting its Meta Superintelligence Labs into four divisions focused on AI research, superintelligence development, products, and infrastructure. The reorganization accompanies potential downsizing of the AI division's thousands of employees and executive departures, according to New York Times.

Vice President of Generative AI Loredana Crisan is expected to announce her departure Tuesday. The company is exploring third-party AI models for its products rather than relying solely on internal technology. Chief AI Officer Alexandr Wang's team has abandoned Meta's previous frontier model Behemoth and is developing a new model from scratch, the report added.

hatGPT will now allow you to choose between several GPT-5 variants and previous OpenAI models. In a post on X, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has revealed that the chatbot's model picker now comes with three GPT-5 choices: Auto, Fast and Thinking. He said most "will want Auto," which is most likely the standard version that's already a reasoning model. But users will be able to choose the fast-responding version or the Thinking version that implies it delivers longer, more comprehensive answers if they want to. GPT-4o is now also back in the model picker for all paying users by default.

OpenAI removed GPT-4o with the launch of GPT-5: The company significantly simplified ChatGPT because GPT-5 was supposed to offer a unified experience for users. However, its decision was met by criticism from people who preferred GPT-4o's personality better, especially since it didn't give them notice that it was deprecating older models.

In his post, Altman promised users that if the company ever does deprecate GPT-4o, OpenAI "will give plenty of notice." In addition to the GPT-5 and GPT-4o models, users can toggle to "Show additional models" in ChatGPT web settings if they want to access o3, 4.1, and GPT-5 Thinking mini. GPT-4.5 is only available to subscribers paying for the $200-a-month Pro tier, though, because it "costs a lot of GPUs."

Altman said that GPT-5 Thinking now has rate limits of 3,000 messages a week, after which users will only be able to use GPT-5 Thinking mini. He has also revealed that OpenAI is working to update GPT-5's personality to make it warmer, but "not as annoying (to most users) as GPT-4o."

Apple is manufacturing more of its iPhone 17 phones for the US in India instead of in China, and for the first time, the full lineup of new models will ship from India at launch, according to Bloomberg. The company is also working on a successor to the iPhone 16E that it plans to make in India, Bloomberg says.

Apple has increasingly been moving iPhone production to India to reduce its dependence on manufacturing in China. The company already expects to pay $1.1 billion in tariffs for the current quarter, but Bloomberg reports that currently, Apple's exports of iPhones to the US from India are exempted from tariffs. That's despite the Trump administration's 50 percent tariff on many imports from India, and while analyst Patrick Moorhead says the move "does dodge some tariffs," he noted that iPhone subassemblies are still mostly produced in China then shipped to India for final assembly.

US tech stocks sold off as warnings that the hype surrounding AI could be overdone hit some of the year's best-performing shares. From a report:
Nvidia, the chips group that has surged to become the world's first $4tn company on the back of AI, fell 3.5 per cent on Tuesday, while software group Palantir dropped 9.4 per cent and chip designer Arm shed 5 per cent.

The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite closed down 1.4 per cent, the biggest one-day drop for the index since August 1. The blue-chip S&P 500 fell 0.7 per cent. European and Asian markets largely followed Wall Street lower on Wednesday. [...] Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell 1.5 per cent and South Korea's Kospi slipped 0.6 per cent. Futures price indicated moderate declines when Wall Street opens.

Traders pinned some of the declines in the US on a critical report on Monday authored by a branch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Researchers said "95 per cent of organisations are getting zero return" from their investments in generative AI, the technology that has sent US stocks soaring to record highs in recent months.

Dust is that "feature" or drawback, The Verge's reviewer Allison Johnson argues. Samsung's head of smartphone planning Minseok Kang told her earlier this year that creating dustproof foldable phones remains technically challenging but "not impossible." Current flagship foldables from Samsung and Motorola carry IP48 ratings that protect against particles larger than one millimeter, while traditional smartphones at similar price points offer full IP68 dust and water resistance. The durability gap persists five years after Samsung's original Galaxy Fold experienced screen failures from small particles entering the hinge mechanism.
