How is it different than HTTP?
HTTPS has the ability to transmit the data by encryption over the user and the website, which was not the case with the HTTP. So, it was very easy for the hackers to hack the important credentials like username and password. Now, as the data in not being transmitted in plain text, so hackers find it difficult to decrypt the data even by the sniffing tools and user feels more secure. This is probably the most solid reason why government organizations, banking and eCommerce websites has been using the HTTPS for their websites.
