Key points
1. Look at your browser's address bar:
Regardless of the browser we use, it will always show whether the page contains a certificate or not.

These types of certificates are automatically recognized by browsers and are displayed as a green closed padlock in the browser bar.

When the contract for said domain expires with the previous owner, cybercriminals buy them and establish their website there. In this way, they gain positions compared to other websites selling similar products.
