Are They Wearing White Hats?
Introduction
In the old days of film, identifying the heroes and villains was simple: the color of their hats. A white hat signaled a trustworthy character committed to honorable deeds, while a black hat indicated a villain, best avoided due to their nefarious actions.
Summary
Today, distinguishing between the "good guys" and the "bad guys" online isn't so straightforward. You can't judge character based on a website or email alone. Often, by the time you realize you're dealing with a bad actor, it's too late.
Fortunately, my personal experience online has been mostly positive, which supports my belief that most people, both online and offline, tend to do the right thing. However, it's still crucial to remain vigilant while navigating the internet.
Identifying Trustworthy Sources
Here are some tips to help you recognize reliable sources and avoid potential pitfalls:
1. Past Experience: Have you successfully interacted with them before?
2. Domain Ownership: Do they have a custom domain, or are they using a free site?
3. Online Presence: How long have they been operating online? Use tools like [Network Solutions WHOIS](https://networksolutions.com/whois) to gather information about the domain holder, including registration duration and contact details.
4. Contact Information: Do they offer comprehensive contact details? At a minimum, look for a phone number and email. A physical address is even better.
Conclusion
While this isn’t an exhaustive checklist, it provides a solid starting point for evaluating online businesses. These steps can help save you time, money, and hassle in determining who is genuinely "wearing the white hats."
