How can I protect myself from identity theft online?

When you're surfing internet, make sure that when you're using websites where you're required to usernames and passwords, or any account-type information, that it is a secured webpage, meaning that in the address bar, where it says "http//www.", it should say "https", meaning it is a secured page. Also, look for that lock in the bottom or upper right-hand corner, making sure that it is a locked and secured webpage.
