[news 28]

Hi,

 

We've just posted a new article on our website, Hardware Secrets.

 

Title: Testing the Security of Your Website – Part 2

Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Testing-the-Security-of-Your-Website-Part-2/1822

Category: Tutorials

 

Summary:

On this part of our “Testing the Security of Your Website” series, we will cover emails, contact forms, and security through obscurity.

 

Here is a snippet:

"You should not publish email addresses on your website, as spammers run programs that sweep the web looking for email addresses to build a database to send spam or sell said database to other spammers. This kind of program looks specifically for the HTML code "mailto:," meaning clickable email addresses are more prone to be collected by spammers."

 

A news post would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Gabriel Torres
