Several security measures must be undertaken both on
the buyer’s and the seller’s end to prevent dissatisfaction with website usage:
1. Classified
websites provide a forum for the buying and selling of products between buyers
and sellers directly without any interference. These products are usually at
lower value than the market prices due to the used range of products available.
clikinn.com
is one such classified website.
2. Prevention
of the loss, misuse and alteration of information of the buyer in the seller’spossession.
The encryption of financial details of the buyer taken for the purpose of the
transaction must be performed in a format that prevents theft of information.
3. Personal
and other information that buyers may publish on the website are protected by
their password. Sellers must never ask for password in an unsolicited phone
call or email.
4. If
the buyer shares a computer with others, he should not save his login information
on the computer. He must remember to sign out and close his browser window when
he has finished his session on the site.
5. Children
and adultsare increasingly exposed to shenanigans through internet browsing.
Although these websites may be important sources of information for our youth,
their vulnerability makes them potential targets for crime and exploitation.
For this reason, adults must monitor their children’s internet usage and inform
them of common sense security advice and recommendations. Such measures can
often prevent your children and adolescents from being exposed to offensive
information or becoming victims of harassment or other criminal acts.Your
children should be aware that they must never disclose personal information in
forums, such as their name, telephone number or address. It is important that
you encourage your children to tell you of their concerns if they receive
messages that make them uncomfortable or shock them. Access to many websites
such as pornographic material are not restricted by age therefore child
internet locks must be applied. Moreover, children may be targeted and
kidnapped at the location of the transaction and so adult supervision is
required.
6. The
buyer must be careful to not disclose too much personal information such as
financial documents.
7. The
terms and conditions of any classified website must always be thoroughly
reviewed so the buyer is in tune with the website’s policies. Buyers must have
full and detailed information as to the product they are purchasing and its
condition.
8. Additionally,
the meeting point for the transaction to take place must not be somewhere
secluded or deserted as theft or snatching can occur as shown in recent news.
Such mishaps can also lead to defaming of several classified websites.
9. Anonymous
posting is a necessity for classified websites because it is important that the
buyer and sellers are not aware of each other’s identity prior to the
transaction.
10. All
information must be processed through a secure channel. A lock must be in place
which ensures that all information is secured. Servers must be located in
secure, supervised environments and databases must only be accessible by people
who have entered into and are bounded by a confidentiality and nondisclosure
agreement.
