In light of Twitter’s less compromising security flaw this week, website security is something that should not be overlooked or take lightly. In the end, it’s your valued customers at risk. No one wants to use something that they feel is unsecured or that their privacy is at risk. The code samples used in this article was primarily Ruby on Rails, but it affects any environment you build your site in. If your site holds a lot of private and sensitive data, have your site hacked and attacked vigorously before public launch. If you are a junior developer, please seek the guidance of a more advanced developer. The developer community is pretty open and don’t be afraid to ask for help. Expose the holes up front rather than the rear. And please plug those holes fast. The more sites that we make secured and customer friendly, the better our ecosystem. Happy coding.
