A user is accessing an online bank account for the first time via an Internet browser. Which of the following should the user check? (Select TWO).

HTTPS ensures data encryption and server authentication, critical for secure transactions between the user's browser and the banking website. This protocol prevents eavesdropping and tampering of sensitive information.

An exclamation point on the status bar typically indicates that a website is not fully secure or contains mixed content (both HTTP and HTTPS).

A lock symbol in the address bar visually indicates that the website is using a secure SSL/TLS connection. This confirms that the connection is encrypted and helps verify the authenticity of the website.

HTTP is an unencrypted protocol, which means any data exchanged between the user and the website can be intercepted and read by malicious actors.

A skull/crossbones symbol is not a standard security indicator used by browsers and would not typically appear for a secure or insecure website connection.
