1. Availability of a secure connection (HTTPS)
In your browser's address bar, you should see a lock icon next to the URL that belongs to the 123Movies domain. This confirms that the site is using encryption to transfer data from client to server and vice versa, which is now the standard for connection security. The lack of HTTPS can lead to the compromise of the data you enter and the data that walks between you and the 123Movies website. As you can see from the screenshot below, the connection to 123Movies is completely secure!
