Security Best Practices
Fortifying Your Digital Assets: Security Best Practices for GreenLightForSite
At GreenLightForSite, we invest heavily in bank-grade security protocols to protect our platform. However, the security chain is only as strong as its weakest link, which is often the user's endpoint. To ensure your account and funds remain impenetrable, follow these essential security practices.
1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
This is the single most effective step you can take. Enabling 2FA means that even if a hacker steals your password, they cannot access your account without the unique code on your phone. Use an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy rather than SMS 2FA, which is more vulnerable to SIM swapping attacks.
2. Recognize and Report Phishing
Phishing attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Always look at the URL bar. Ensure you are on the official GreenLightForSite domain. Be wary of emails creating a sense of urgency (e.g., "Your account will be locked in 1 hour!"). When in doubt, contact our support team directly through the website.
3. Use a Unique, Strong Password
Never reuse passwords across different sites. If one site is breached, your credentials can be used to access your GreenLightForSite account. Use a password manager to generate and store complex, unique passwords for your accounts.
4. Secure Your Local Environment
Ensure your operating system and antivirus software are up to date. Avoid accessing your GreenLightForSite account on public Wi-Fi networks (like coffee shops) without a VPN. Public networks can be "sniffed" by attackers to intercept session cookies.
5. Whitelist Withdrawal Addresses (Advanced)
If you are a high-volume user, consider using our withdrawal whitelist feature. This restricts withdrawals to only specific, pre-approved wallet addresses, preventing hackers from draining your account to their own wallets even if they gain access.
Security is a proactive process. By implementing these measures, you transform your account into a digital fortress.
