Protect: secure your bank cards
Security warning
Hackers may try to get your payment information (card number, name, expiration data, and CVV2) in order to then use this data to steal money from your account. Your payment information may be at risk in the following situations:
- The online payment form was published on a fraudulent website.
- The site accepts payments by card but it doesn't use a secure HTTPS connection.
- The site uses a certificate that Yandex doesn't recognize.
- The payment form is located on a different domain than that of the main site.
When you enter your bank card number, there are two types of warnings that Yandex Browser may display:
- There is a clear risk that your data will be stolen. In this case, the SmartBox displays the
icon and a warning window opens. - There is no clear risk of data theft, but there may be a potential security problem. In this case, the SmartBox will display the
icon.

Message |
What it means |
|
You are entering card number **** on example.com, which doesn't use reliable encryption. Your payment details may be intercepted by hackers. |
Yandex considers the site to be suspicious or the site uses the non-secure HTTP protocol during payment processing. Don't proceed with payment, otherwise hackers may get access to your payment data. |
|
“Certificate name” can see your bank card information. |
Yandex does not recognize the site certificate (certificates confirm a site's authenticity and are part of the data encryption process over HTTPS). Check the origin of the certificate and decide if you trust it. |
|
The connection with this site is not encrypted, but your bank card data will be sent to example.com, which is secure. |
The form you use to enter your payment information is located on a different site from the one where the payment is actually made. It's likely that you ended up on a phishing page. Make sure that you trust the site where the payment form is located. |
