Basic Web Security You Can't Afford to Ignore
You don't need to be a hacker to keep your app safe. Just follow these very simple ground rules.
Nobody cares about security until they get hacked. When a data breach happens, you don't just lose data—you lose the trust of every single customer you have worked so hard to get.
The Biggest Mistake Developers Make
Most hacks aren't complex movie-style cyber attacks. They happen because a developer forgot to check permissions.
For example, if a user changes the ID in the URL from `?user=1` to `?user=2`, can they see someone else's profile? You would be shocked how many apps fail this simple test.
Keep It Safe, Keep It Encrypted
Never, ever store passwords in plain text. If your developer isn't using strong encryption for your database, fire them. It is that serious.
Is your customer data actually safe?
