How safe is your website, transactions with you, and my messages to you?

We send your messages using protected 256 bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection that uses 

• a SHA256 Certificate. This is the same level of protection used by online banking or e-commerce providers

• the latest and secure ciphers like AES_CBC/AES_GCM 256 bit/128 bit keys

These ensure that your mail is protected from unauthorized access, disclosure or modification. All data transfers on the web happen in secure mode (https). 

Background

• Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate is a security technology for sites that protects the data that your customers enter on your site: credit card numbers, social security numbers, login credentials, etc. TLS and SSL encrypts the data transfer from your site, and publishes the content securely using HTTPS instead of HTTP.

• Having a TLS or SSL certificate also affects your site ranking in the search engine results since Google and other engines prefer secured sites over unsecured.

• You can tell if a site, such as ours, is secure by looking at its link in the browser: site is not secured if it has a warning icon and the “Not Secure” note. TLS/SSL-secured sites have the padlock icon.

• Sometimes We use Gmail (this is AI...)

  Gmail uses multiple encryption methods, including TLS for in-transit protection and S/MIME for enhanced security, to keep your emails private and secure.

  Types of Encryption in Gmail

  1. Transport Layer Security (TLS):InTransit Encryption: Gmail automatically uses TLS to encrypt emails while they are being sent between your device and Google's servers. This helps protect your messages from interception during transmission. If both the sender and recipient use email services that support TLS, the email remains encrypted in transit.

  2. At-Rest Encryption:Gmail also employs at-rest encryption, which secures your emails when they are stored on Google's servers. This means that even if someone were to gain unauthorized access to the servers, they would not be able to read your emails without the proper decryption keys.

  • You can tell if a site, such as ours, is secure by looking at its link in the browser: site is not secured if it has a warning icon and the “Not Secure” note. TLS/SSL-secured sites have the padlock icon.

  How does an account get hacked?

  Understanding the common reasons why accounts get hacked can help you take proactive measures to protect your MailerLite account. Common scenarios that lead to an account hacking are:

  🔓 Weak passwords: Simple or commonly used passwords are easy targets for hackers. Using the same password across multiple accounts is also a hacking risk.

  🎣 Phishing attacks: Fraudulent emails or websites that trick you into revealing your login credentials.

  🦠 Malware and viruses: Malicious software can compromise your computer and access your account. Outdated software can also leave you exposed to vulnerabilities.

  🛜 Unsecured networks: Using public or unsecured Wi-Fi networks can expose your account to cyber threats.

  When a hacking occurs, it puts your information and the information of others at risk. Breaches of your email marketing account may leak sensitive data, including contact lists and personal information.
