My money was stolen!
? More precisely, it was taken without my will and knowledge, but already on the way back. My mistake was that I opened an account on an online platform, saved my credit card there for future payments and forgot about for years. And now in a year and a half, I have got a greeting from there. The account was hacked and the card was abused. Luckily, it was a large and reliable platform, support has responded quickly and the problem was solved.
?That’s what the video is about. We shot it with my colleague Angelina to discuss the problem and to warn you do not repeat my mistake.
There are some points for shop owners to note:
- Check if your shop has a valid SSL certificate (the (green) lock in the address bar of the browser). If not, then install one, there is a cost-effective and even free version.
- How many people work on your store and have access to the shop? The more people there are, the less secure it becomes. Dual authentication and IP access restriction will help!
- The server on which the installation is located must be reliable and its software must be updated regularly.
- The contact information, terms of use and privacy policy must be present and acute.
Is it okay? Great, then you are on the safe side as a shop owner!
?I wish you a nice weekend and only satisfying and reliable online purchases!
Do you often shop online?
