Hackers

Obviously, every company puts a great deal of effort into keeping their information safe, using whatever modern means available to keep hackers out of the system. There are several companies out there whose sole objective is to check websites, making sure they are ‘hacks proof’, and give a ‘seal of approval’ to those who pass their tests. HackerProof and Hacker Safe are two such companies. You may want to look for their approved seals when you’re searching for the right Registrar and host.

However, don’t let these types of seals fool you. Many sites have designed their own special ‘Safe Site’ seals. The small graphic looks like something that would make the site trustworthy, but are really just a meaningless image. Still others attach it to their own ‘approval’ sites. When people click on the image, they are taken to a window that says similar to ‘frankiezerpeacock – Approved site by the frankiezerpeacock approval team’. If you see a message that a site was approved by itself, leave the site immediately.

We recommend that you play it safe. If you’re looking for a seal, do your research and make sure that when you click on the seal, it takes you to a reputable company
