HTTP is currently the primary unsecured protocol for browsing applications used on computers while HTTPS is an encrypted protocol for browsing. I no longer want anybody tracking my browsing preferences.

Hi Sue. You have a talent for noticing small details. Https, as opposed to http, reflects use of an anti-tracking program to prevent tracking of a first user’s site visitation histories and cookies. So, even though it has nothing to do with use of a particular weblink embedded in a message opened by a third party it still shows up when copied.

OneAZ Credit Union first warned me about this risk to my bank account.

Here’s how I dealt with it. I opened up an additional debit card only account. I only keep $100 in it. I usually buy nearly that amount of gas. I WAIT a couple of days to replenish the account and I do it online. I don’t use that account’s debit card for anything other than gasoline purchases. This way, if the crook with the skimmer reads my account number, the gasoline I just bought will have wiped out almost all my account balance before the crook’s debit can be processed and there won’t be much money in it. Notice in the article that it mentions that sometimes these crooks are actually employees of your gas station.
