What are the risks associated with HTTP ? How can we resolve these risks by using HTTPS ?

HTTP sends information over the network in plain text, leaving it vulnerable to attacks from hackers who can intercept and manipulate the data. On the other hand, HTTPS encrypts the data before transmission and requires SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols, along with an SSL digital certificate, to ensure secure communication between the client and server.
