Is Your Freelance Site Secure?
One key aspect that online tech money makers must put into consideration is the security of the site or web domain that they are working with. With the constant influx of billions of dollars over the internet per hour, no wonder many scammers and unauthentic tech sites have tried to steal most of the people’s hard earned electronic cash.
However, this is not always the case. Fortunately, money making sites such as GetAFreelancer, Scritplance and ODesk all have their own security strengths. In this regard, it is best to highlight Scritplance since it may be the freelancing site with the most secure and tech safe money transactions done over the Internet. Compared to other freelancing sites, Scriptlance has a tighter security protocol that any hacker can really be challenged.
For one, Scritplance has an automatic IP detection system. Yes, most sites have this mechanism pre-installed into their system to automatically harvest the IP addresses of their visitors but what Scriptlance does remarkably well is during user logs. When a particular user logs into the site, their IP address is always recorded. The trick now is what if this same user will use another computer bearing another IP address to log into the same account? Well, Scritplance really treats this as a threat, hence they always ask for a security question from the user to ensure that you are still THAT same user.
This is very different from other freelance sites wherein there is basically no scrutiny over this area. No matter how many different IP addresses you use, still you can log into your account with ease and without any interruption whatsoever. This scheme from Scriptlance may sound too tight but mind you this is practically very useful in countering fraudulent users and account hacks. You can just imagine how fast it is for somebody else to withdraw money to your account and transfer them into their own account if ever they managed to crack your user login info. Your hundreds or thousands of dollar commission may all be gone within a days time, the worse if everything happens in less than an hour, which is very much possible.
Moreover, your email will automatically be notified that your account was successfully opened using another IP address, at this certain time, and informing the account user that the security question you placed at the front line of your ‘anti-hacking defense’ was successfully cracked. Therefore, if somebody else managed to log into your account then you’ll know eventually.
Another tech security measure done by Scriptlance is the way they usually ask for a re-log after a specified number of minutes of being idle within your account. Again, this may seem very troublesome for the ordinary user but as a matter of fact, this helps a lot in instilling secure log-ins into each online account.
All in all, Scriptlance may be way ahead compared to GetAFreelancer and ODesk, in terms of tech security measures. But still, all of these freelance sites are pretty secure so there is little or less reason to worry about your static electronic money online.
