    • Potential impact or exploitation details
  2. Use a Secure Method: Send the details via email to ensure confidentiality. Avoid public disclosure until the issue has been addressed.
  3. Follow Up: You may follow up on your report after 7 days if you have not received a response.

Security Measures

We take security seriously and implement the following measures to protect user data:

  • Data Encryption: Sensitive user data is encrypted in transit using TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols.
  • Authentication: Strong password policies and multi-factor authentication (MFA) are encouraged for user accounts.
  • Regular Updates: The project dependencies are regularly updated to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  • Security Audits: Periodic security audits and code reviews are conducted to identify and resolve potential security issues.

User Responsibilities

As a user of this project, you play a crucial role in maintaining security. Please adhere to the following best practices:

  • Use Strong Passwords: Create complex passwords for your accounts and change them regularly.
  • Be Cautious with Links: Avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files.
  • Report Suspicious Activity: If you notice any unusual behavior or potential security issues, report them immediately.

Additional Resources

For further information on security best practices, consider the following resources:

  • OWASP Top Ten - A list of the most critical web application security risks.
  • NIST Cybersecurity Framework - A policy framework of computer security guidance for how private sector organizations can assess and improve their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber incidents.
