Here’s last week’s recap of #100securedays:
Day 39: Malicious advertising is the use of online advertising to spread malware. Without realizing a tiny piece of code is hidden deep in an advert which is making your computer go to criminal servers. Be very careful of this kind of ads!
Day 40:
If you haven’t switched your website from http to https I suggest you do so soon. HTTP was the standard used for just about all URLs but the data transmitted through HTTP is not encrypted and this can result to security breaches. This puts both the website’s owner and its visitors at risk.
Day 41:
CAPTCHA is a tool that differentiates robots from humans. Without using this tool, bots or spam accounts can submit forms on the website causing security risks. Introduce captcha!
