What Extra Security is Available For People Making Payments Online - Technology Org

As online transactions become an integral part of our daily lives, the need for robust security measures to protect sensitive financial information has never been more critical.

With the popularity of online payment platforms and the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, individuals and businesses are adopting extra layers of security when making any payments. In fact, cybercrime is said to cost the world $10.5 trillion annually, highlighting the risk and threats that are out there. 

This article explores various advanced security measures designed to enhance online payment security and provide users with greater confidence in their digital financial transactions.

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA

Two-Factor Authentication is a fundamental security feature that adds an extra layer of protection beyond the traditional username and password. 

“In addition to entering login credentials, users must provide a second form of verification, typically received through a mobile app, SMS, or email,” says Ben Sweiry, founder of payment site, Dime Alley. “By requiring two independent factors for authentication, 2FA significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, making it a widely adopted method to bolster online payment security.

Biometric Authentication

Biometric authentication methods, such as fingerprint scanning, facial recognition, and iris scanning, offer a more secure and user-friendly way to verify identities. Many modern devices, including smartphones such as iPhones and tablets, now come equipped with biometric sensors that can be integrated into online payment processes. 

Biometrics provide a highly personalized and unique form of authentication, making it more challenging for malicious actors to gain unauthorized access.

Tokenization

Tokenization is a security technique that replaces sensitive payment information, such as credit card numbers, with unique tokens. These tokens are useless to cybercriminals even if intercepted, as they lack the original data’s value. This method reduces the risk of data breaches during online transactions, as the actual financial information remains secure behind the scenes.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Encryption

SSL encryption is a standard security protocol that establishes a secure connection between the user’s browser and the website’s server. 

“SSL certificates encrypt the data transmitted during online transactions, preventing unauthorized parties from intercepting and deciphering sensitive information,” says Harry Adair, co-founder of TechVolutionary. “Websites with SSL certificates can be identified by the “https://” prefix in the URL, providing users with a visual cue of a secure connection.

Device Recognition and Profiling

Advanced security systems employ device recognition and profiling to identify and authenticate the devices used for online payments. By analyzing the unique characteristics of a device, such as its IP address, location, and hardware attributes, this technology can detect irregularities and potential threats. If a payment attempt originates from an unfamiliar or suspicious device, additional authentication measures may be triggered.

Behavioral Analytics

Behavioral analytics monitor user behavior during online transactions to establish a baseline of typical activities. 

Justine Gray, founder of finance startup Dollar Hand says, “We try to identify crime and cyber fraud in many ways, such as unusual spending patterns or login times. This can trigger alerts or additional verification steps and it helps identify and prevent fraudulent activities before they escalate.”

As the digital landscape continues to evolve, ensuring the security of online payments is paramount. The adoption of advanced security measures for mobiles, such as Two-Factor Authentication, biometric authentication, tokenization, SSL encryption, device recognition, behavioral analytics, and risk-based authentication, collectively works to create a robust defense against cyber threats. 

Empowering users with these extra layers of security not only safeguards their financial information but also instills trust in the online payment ecosystem. As technology progresses, ongoing innovations in online payment security will remain crucial to staying one step ahead of ever-evolving cyber threats.

THE LEFT IS GETTING SERIOUS AND PULLING OUT ALL OF THE STOPS TO STAY IN POWER! GET READY!!!!

BOOOM!

Judy Byington Bombshell Report!

Cyber Attack Nationwide Communication Blackout Planned For Nov. 5 Election

DayBreaking News Alert!

Judy Byington’s explosive new report exposes plans for a massive cyber attack aiming to unleash a nationwide communication blackout on Nov. 5, Election Day! Prepare yourselves; this is a warning you can’t ignore. Spread the word before it’s too late!

Free and fair election in 2024? Forget it. The Election Fraud Machine has been hard at work, creating chaos and tampering with early voting across the nation.

On Nov. 5, the Deep State Elites are set to launch a cyber attack to manipulate results, silence communication, and paralyze the nation. Their endgame? Martial Law, giving Biden control to cancel the election and keep the Biden-Harris puppet show running, all in the name of keeping their Global Elite handlers in power.

But it gets worse: Deep State biometric scanners, satellites, and AI have been spotted erasing Trump votes in early voting districts. White Hat Military Alliance has struck back, destroying Dominion voting machines in Ohio that were flipping Trump votes. The Ohio Attorney General has even indicted six non-citizens who illegally cast ballots in previous elections.

In Washington and Oregon, fires at ballot boxes have obliterated thousands of ballots that will never be recovered, all thanks to Antifa, who many believe orchestrated the attacks.

In Texas, election fraud arrests are piling up, while in Utah, voter fraud cases are ignored, leaving dead voters receiving ballots before living ones! No investigation, no answers—just silence from election offices.

Last week in Pennsylvania, non-English speaking “citizens” sporting Harris Walz stickers were pushed to the front of voting lines, directed by “translators” while actual Americans waited outside. Police in the state shut down a voting booth for “overwhelming Republican turnout.” Trump supporters arrested simply for encouraging freedom to vote! Voter suppression is in full swing.And in Florida, people discovered a mysterious box of ballots by the Turnpike. Who left it there? Authorities haven’t figured it out, but the implications are chilling.

Democrats are now fighting to prevent drop box surveillance in Georgia—why would they oppose election transparency unless they have something to hide?Illegal immigrants and non-citizens have been handed voter IDs and social security benefits. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian “refugees” now receive American taxpayer money and voter IDs, ready to cast their votes this November.

Reports reveal that 46 out of 50 states confirmed Biden lost the 2020 election in their state, but Congress ignored this to certify Biden’s victory without any investigation.

And it’s not just election fraud—Byington exposes horrifying secrets in her re-released book, “22 Faces”, detailing how Satan-worshipping elites subject children to ritual abuse to maintain control over their victims. Upon its release, “22 Faces” faced vicious attacks by pedophiles desperate to bury the truth. They smeared the book with one-star reviews to suppress its exposure of Satanic Ritual Abuse.

Help expose these monsters: leave a review on Amazon to ensure “22 Faces” reaches the light. The more we reveal, the more innocents we can save.

They want us silent; we won’t be. Spread this message.Join, while it's not too late:

United States intelligence officials have been quietly issuing warnings to government agencies all summer about a rising threat of extremist violence tied to the 2024 presidential election, including plots to destroy bins full of paper ballots and promote "lone wolf" attacks against election facilities throughout the country.

In a series of reports between July and September, analysts at the Department of Homeland Security warned of a “heightened risk” of extremists carrying out attacks in response to the race. Copies of the reports, first reported by WIRED, describe efforts by violent groups to provoke attacks against election infrastructure and spread calls for the assassinations of lawmakers and law enforcement agents.

Last month, the agency’s intelligence office emphasized in a report that “perceptions of voter fraud” had risen to become a primary “trigger” for the “mobilization to violence.” This is particularly true, the report says, among groups working to leverage the “concept of a potential civil war.” Fears about “crimes by migrants or minorities” are among other top “triggers,” it says.

The documents show that DHS alerted dozens of agencies this summer to online chatter indicating potential attacks on election drop boxes—secured receptacles used in more than 30 states to collect mail-in voter ballots. The text highlights the efforts of an unnamed group to crowdsource information about “incendiary and explosive materials” capable of destroying the boxes and ballots. An extensive list of household mixtures and solvents, which are said to render voter ballots “impossible to process,” was also compiled by members of the group, the report says, and openly shared online.

“The United States remains in a heightened, dynamic threat environment and we continue to share information with our law enforcement partners about the threats posed by domestic violent extremists in the context of the 2024 election,” a spokesperson from DHS tells WIRED. "Violence has no place in our politics, and DHS continues to work with our partners to evaluate and mitigate emerging threats that may arise from domestic or foreign actors. DHS, through CISA, is also helping  election officials and election infrastructure partners bolster resilience in their cyber, physical, and operational security.  The Department continues to advise federal, state, and local partners to remain vigilant to potential threats and encourages the public to report any suspicious activity to local authorities."

The FBI, which is on a distribution list for several of the reports, declined to comment.

The reports were first obtained by Property of the People, a nonprofit focused on transparency and national security, under open records law. The reports contain details about how to commit crimes and avoid law enforcement, which WIRED is not publishing.

Wendy Via, cofounder and president of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism (GPAHE), says the conclusion reached by DHS matches the consensus of experts in the field: “Election denialism is going to be the primary motivator—if there is going to be violence.”

For decades, a growing number of states have adopted election drop boxes as a way to offer voters a dedicated, secure, and convenient way to submit voter ballots ahead of elections. Today, as many as 35 states allow drop boxes in some capacity, though a handful—nearly all southern—have outlawed their use, mostly over baseless claims about fraud and ballot stuffing. While drop boxes are no less secure than other forms of voting, Republicans have scrambled to block their use in key states, including Wisconsin, where Donald Trump blasted legislation expanding drop boxes as “only good for Democrats and cheating.” Via points to the Republican-led campaign aimed at banning and restricting access to election drop boxes in Wisconsin as a flash point for election denialism and possible violence.

The obsession with the otherwise mundane practice of dropping off ballots prior to election day stems in large part from the widely discredited film 2,000 Mules. The “documentary” depicts a shadowy network of operatives attempting to sway the 2020 election by stuffing ballots in Joe Biden’s favor; the film’s publisher, a conservative media company, has since issued an apology.

While the film’s evidence turned out to be false, it nevertheless provoked a surge of intimidation from far-right groups targeting drop-box voters and the officials defending their use. For the November election, some groups have committed to fundraising in order to surveil the boxes around the clock over public livestream. Others have hosted events near the locations to push conspiracy theories about immigrants. Election denial groups such as True the Vote, meanwhile, are working with myriad others across the country, as WIRED reported this summer, and are establishing a web of operations for waging legal warfare in the aftermath of the vote—if Trump fails to retake the White House a second time.

Spurious claims of voter fraud have remained a mainstay of the former president’s reelection efforts, with Trump preemptively and baselessly claiming that should he lose in November, the election will have been rigged. Claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen have been exhaustively investigated and debunked by countless judges and state election officials across the country. Property of the People executive director Ryan Shapiro says that though DHS does not mention the political leanings of the subjects in its reports, he believes “the documents make plain that US intelligence is bracing for election- and immigration-related violence from Trump's MAGA minions.”

The concerns of DHS today are reminiscent of warnings shared by the agency two years ago during the midterm elections. Similar bulletins leaked then showing fears among federal security officials that extremists would mount an attack, threaten poll workers, or sabotage infrastructure. The concerns proved largely unwarranted, outside of scattered instances of armed men in paramilitary gear showing up to “monitor” ballot boxes across Arizona—an effort quietly spearheaded in part by True the Vote, which helped make 2,000 mules, involving militias that included the American Patriots Three Percent, an anti-government group.

The election threats flagged in the reports by DHS appear to be growing more extreme over time. No longer restricted to aggressive surveillance and loitering outside polling locations, the risks associated by DHS with election fraud conspiracies today more closely resemble traditional acts of terrorism.

There are, however, some deterrents. The arrests and prosecutions of rioters involved in the January 6 attack on the United States Capitol building are credited by DHS, as well as groups such as GPAHE, with stifling much of the enthusiasm that far-rights groups once held for turning out in big numbers.

“In my lifetime of working in civil rights, the January 6 arrests are the only time I’ve ever seen an arrest or prosecution work as a deterrent,” says Via. “They really do not want to go to jail.”

Iván Duque, ex-Colombian president, posted the following:

🚨🚨Alert! This dangerous information is circulating.

"There are rumours that within the Supreme Court of Justice of Venezuela, they might be studying the possibility of declaring the elections as null, given that the data could have been corrupted due to the "cyber attack" that Maduro wants to use as a smokescreen."

Why is this a strategic and possible scenario for the dictatorship?

1. The TSJ (Supreme Court of Justice) ordered the CNE (National Electoral Council), among other things, to provide all the technical information that attests to the "cyber attack" of which the CNE claims to have been a victim of on Sunday, July 28, which is why it has not been able to provide the records.

2. The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, would suggest repeating the elections to help Maduro, and Mexico and Brazil are being sought to do the same.

Now, on what evidence would the TSJ base this decision?

The TSJ will claim that it consulted one or two companies specialized in cybersecurity and that, after analyzing all the technical information provided by the CNE about the “cyber attack”, it concludes that it did indeed occur, and that, as a consequence, a significant part of the data was corrupted. Obtaining a forensic cybersecurity technical report from a specialized company will not be difficult; there is no shortage of money, and money buys almost everything.

Since the data is considered corrupted, it does not reflect with certainty and veracity the people expressed will, which would administratively and legally justify that the bulletins issued by the CNE were based on information corrupted by the "cyber attack", releasing Mr. Amoroso and the CNE directors from legal responsibility, as there was no intention to favor one of the candidates, but rather its decision was based on unreal and corrupted figures.

They will say that cybersecurity specialists confirm this. Therefore, they will decree the following as mandatory:

1. Order the CNE to de-proclaim Maduro, which would reduce national and international pressure.

2. Order the CNE to hold a new presidential election in the first half of December 2024.

This will allow Chavismo to escape the corner they were backed into and reorganize its forces. They will have a period of four months to correct all their flaws, strengthen the system and ensure their victory in December.

3. Order the government to give the opposition the conditions and guarantees for the development of its electoral campaign.

4. Order the government to immediately release all the people who were detained as a result of the protests, which would provide social relief.

In short, with this decision, the TSJ plays the role of "good cop" and "wise", whose decision would immediately produce the following effects:

A. Freeze the situation, since there would be no reasons to protest.

B. Remove fraud bias, since the data used would have been altered by the cyberattack.

C. Please a sector of the “International Community”, guaranteeing a new electoral process and nullifying the current one.

D. Give the regime four months to strengthen itself and ensure its victory in December.

This plan must be prevented. Edmundo González is the president elected by the people, as evidenced by 82% of the records published by the brave electoral witnesses of the democratic resistance. This result shows an overwhelming victory. The verdict of the people must be respected. No more traps of the dictatorship! Free Venezuela!

Ultimately, it would only be necessary to compare the records with the ballot boxes. There is no justification for holding new elections.

"I told Lindell that his WMD alerts would be going off everywhere because many states use online connections for e-pollbooks — which are often i-Pads – to make sure only registered voters get a ballot," reported Rosenfeld, a senior writing fellow for the non-profit organization Voting Booth.

"In addition, almost every voting site has printers in case a voter needs a new ballot. In other words, his system would be flagging routine polling station operations as possible cyber-attacks."

"He didn’t care," Rosenfeld added.

How to Develop a Cybersecurity Framework that Shields Your Digital Environment

As organizations continue to rely on digital platforms, cloud services, and interconnected devices, the importance of a robust cybersecurity framework has never been greater. From safeguarding sensitive data to maintaining trust with clients, a well-developed cybersecurity framework is essential to protecting digital assets from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. A well-structured cybersecurity approach involves understanding your unique threat landscape, implementing robust policies, leveraging cutting-edge tools, training employees, and continuously improving defences to stay prepared for new risks.

The first step in building a cybersecurity framework is assessing the specific threats and vulnerabilities your organization may face. Different industries are often targeted by distinct types of attacks, from ransomware in healthcare to fraud in financial services. Understanding the data most at risk and the weak points in your network’s structure helps tailor your security measures more precisely, ensuring resources are directed toward the most critical areas.

A solid cybersecurity framework is guided by a well-defined policy that outlines standards for data handling, device use, and overall network security. Access controls are a critical element, limiting data access based on roles to minimize exposure, while password and authentication requirements add additional layers of security. Additionally, a clear Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) helps reduce potential risks by setting guidelines for responsible use of company resources. Such a policy forms the backbone of your cybersecurity framework, establishing a unified approach to security across the organization.

To catch and respond to cyber threats effectively, organizations should implement real-time detection and response tools. Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) monitor network traffic for unusual activity, automatically alerting teams or blocking potential threats. Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) solutions provide visibility into individual devices, while regular vulnerability scans help identify and patch potential weaknesses before they become entry points for attackers. Having a rapid response protocol in place means your organization can act swiftly, containing threats before they escalate.

Data protection measures are crucial to prevent breaches and limit potential damage. Encryption keeps sensitive data secure both at rest and in transit, ensuring that even if data is accessed without authorization, it remains unintelligible. Regularly backing up data, with these backups stored securely offline or in the cloud, is another vital safeguard, especially against ransomware attacks. This approach allows organizations to recover critical data quickly, minimizing disruption in the event of a breach.

Employee training is another foundational element in cybersecurity. Human error is often a weak link in security, as phishing attacks or mishandling data can create entry points for cyber threats. Training employees to recognize phishing attempts, handle devices securely, and report potential threats builds a culture of cybersecurity awareness, reducing the likelihood of incidents caused by simple mistakes.

Finally, a cybersecurity framework must evolve. Regularly testing and updating your defences ensures they remain effective against new and emerging threats. Frequent software updates and simulated attacks, like penetration testing, reveal potential vulnerabilities and help strengthen your framework. Revisiting your cybersecurity policies in line with technology upgrades or organizational changes further enhances the adaptability and resilience of your security measures.

Building a strong cybersecurity framework is essential for any organization looking to protect itself in today’s interconnected world. By assessing threats, implementing clear policies, utilizing effective tools, training employees, and continuously updating your defenses, your organization can stay resilient against evolving cyber risks. With a robust cybersecurity framework in place, you are not only protecting your assets but also setting a foundation for trust and continuity in a digital-first world.

Preparing your online store for black friday success

Black Friday 2024 is right around the corner, and for e-commerce entrepreneurs. From ensuring your website can handle traffic surges to crafting marketing campaigns that generate excitement, every detail matters. In this guide, we’ll walk you through essential steps and strategies to set your store up for success, maximizing your sales and making this Black Friday your best yet.

Website performance: speed and reliability are critical

Your website’s performance is a key factor in converting visitors into buyers, especially with the heavy traffic expected on Black Friday. A one-second delay in loading time can drastically reduce conversions, so ensuring a fast and reliable site is crucial. Optimize your page load speed by compressing images and minimizing CSS and JavaScript files. Using a content delivery network (CDN) is also recommended for faster global access. Test your server’s capacity to ensure it can handle a surge in visitors. If necessary, consider upgrading to a more scalable solution like cloud hosting. Implementing browser and server-side caching can also reduce server load and maintain a smooth experience, even during high traffic peaks.

Mobile Optimization: capture shoppers on the go

With mobile devices accounting for over half of e-commerce traffic, optimizing for mobile is essential. A seamless mobile experience is crucial for maximizing sales on Black Friday. Use tools like Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test to check your site’s mobile usability and resolve any issues. Consider using Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) technology for fast-loading product listings and landing pages. Ensure your design is touch-friendly, with large buttons and simple forms, making it easy for mobile users to navigate and complete purchases. Simplifying the checkout process for mobile users can also help reduce cart abandonment, a common issue during peak shopping times.

Robust security measures: protect customer data and transactions

Security is a top priority during Black Friday due to the increase in traffic and potential cyber- attacks. Start by ensuring your site has a valid SSL certificate, which encrypts data and boosts customer trust, as well as your SEO ranking. Strengthen your defenses with a robust firewall and DDoS protection to guard against malicious attacks. Services like Cloudflare offer scalable solutions to keep your site secure. Anti-fraud tools are also crucial; they monitor suspicious transactions and help prevent chargebacks. Many platforms, such as Shopify and WooCommerce, offer built-in fraud prevention features that can be easily activated to protect your store.

Marketing and promotion Strategies: create buzz early

A strong marketing campaign is crucial for driving traffic and converting visitors during Black Friday. Start building excitement weeks in advance with teaser campaigns that showcase upcoming deals. Email marketing can effectively engage your existing customers by offering them early access or exclusive discounts. Social media is also a powerful tool for engaging audiences with countdowns, product highlights, and limited-time offers. Paid ads can extend your reach, especially when targeted effectively. Collaborating with influencers in your niche is another way to amplify your reach. A well-timed influencer campaign can build credibility and generate buzz, drawing attention to your brand just before Black Friday.

Optimize product listings and inventory management

Optimizing product listings and managing your inventory effectively are crucial for Black Friday success. Make sure your product descriptions are SEO-friendly, with relevant keywords that improve search visibility. Optimize your titles, meta descriptions, and image alt texts for both SEO and user experience. Inventory planning is also key; analyze previous sales data to estimate demand accurately. An inventory management system can automate stock tracking and alert you when quantities are low, helping you avoid issues like overselling. Consider preparing bundled offers and upsell opportunities to increase your average order value (AOV). Displaying complementary products or discounts on bulk purchases can encourage customers to add more items to their carts, boosting overall sales.

Seamless checkout process: reduce friction for higher conversions

Cart abandonment is a significant issue during Black Friday, but it can be minimized with a streamlined checkout process. Offer a one-page checkout option to reduce the number of steps required, speeding up the process. Allow customers to check out as guests to remove any barriers. Multiple payment options, including digital wallets like PayPal and Apple Pay, as well as buy-now-pay-later services, cater to different preferences and increase conversion rates. Displaying clear shipping options and estimated arrival times is also crucial. Many shoppers prioritize stores offering express delivery, so ensure these options are visible and easy to select during checkout.

Customer support and communication: be ready for questions

With the surge in orders, customer inquiries will increase. Make sure your support team is ready and that automated solutions are in place to maintain service quality. A chatbot can handle common questions and provide instant responses, improving customer satisfaction and freeing up your team for more complex inquiries. Make your contact information easy to find and provide various support options like live chat, email, and social media messaging. Integrating real-time order tracking directly on your site also enhances the customer experience. Using a service like 17track allows customers to monitor their orders and receive updates, reducing the need for direct support inquiries.

Post-black friday analysis: plan for future success

Once Black Friday sales are over, it’s crucial to analyze your campaign results to understand what worked and where improvements can be made. Monitor KPIs such as traffic, conversion rates, average order value, and bounce rates to identify patterns and areas for improvement. Collect customer feedback through post-purchase surveys to gain insights into their experiences, helping you refine your approach for future events. Retargeting ads and follow-up email campaigns can engage new customers after Black Friday, offering them incentives for future purchases and encouraging brand loyalty. These strategies can turn one-time shoppers into repeat customers, setting the stage for long-term success.

Conclusion

By preparing your online store thoroughly, you set the foundation for a successful and profitable Black Friday. From optimizing your website’s performance to planning effective marketing campaigns, each aspect contributes to maximizing sales. Taking proactive steps now ensures that your e-commerce business is ready to capture every opportunity this Black Friday and beyond.
