The internet has become an inseparable part of our lives. From searching for information, studying, shopping, or entertainment—we use the internet everywhere. However, alongside the benefits, there are many dangerous websites that create serious risks for users. As the number of internet users in Bangladesh increases, the number of fake and fraudulent sites is also growing.

 Types of Dangerous Websites

These sites look like real bank, Facebook, or email login pages.

They are designed to steal usernames, passwords, or card numbers.

Many users in Bangladesh fall into this trap every day.

2. Malware-Spread Sites

Disguised as fake apps, software, or free video providers, they install viruses.

These can take control of a user’s mobile phone or computer.

Sometimes used to create political division.

Promise to sell mobiles or electronics at very low prices.

After taking the money, they never deliver the products.

If the website address (URL) looks suspicious or unfamiliar.
