“When it comes to website security, it is better to be safe than sorry. Ignorance is not bliss."
Most forms check for empty fields. Some check to make sure the E-Mail address is valid. ProFormPlus knows that forms are a vulnerable point in a website for the introduction of malicious code (sometimes called XSS or Cross Site Scripting). So EVERY field is checked to insure website security.
Most forms check (validate) entries in client-side programming (JavaScript) alone. But what happens if a website visitor (or hacker) has JavaScript turned off on their own computer? It means the form will not work at all or has no validation at all. ProFormPlus server-side and client-side validation for the ultimate security and stability in all situations.
ProFormPlus is programmed and validated in two programming languages - JavaScript and PHP. This provides stability in all situations, on all browsers, for every website visitor in the world.
A Captcha Code Image is a picture of text or numbers which can't be read by software like regular text. This offers the ultimate protection against spamming and hacking and comes with every ProFormPlus online form. A Security Code (Captcha Code) insures that a human is filling out the form, not an automated dialing software that can shut your website down.
When your E-Mail is displayed on your website page or in the code it is vulnerable to being collected by SPAM-bots (automated software systems). SPAM-bots routinely and efficiently check all websites for E-Mail addresses. They distribute them to advertisers who send spam. Thus, website-generated spam.
One special feature we offer is every password gets unique encryption. This means that if two users have the same password, each one is unique because of the encryption. This provides the highest password security possible.
Many people think only large corporate or government websites are targeted. This can be a serious misconception. Malicious website activity has been targeting not only the corporate websites, but sites of small to medium sized businesses. This can range from website generated spam, to all-out spam attacks which can disable a server and shut down a website. Or the insertion of malicious code to alter the output of a site. ProFormPlus is designed to serve all websites.
Consider the definition of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): "Cross site scripting, better known as XSS, is the most pernicious and easily found web application security issue. XSS allows hackers to deface web sites, insert hostile content, conduct phishing attacks, take over the user’s browser using JavaScript malware, and force users to conduct commands not of their own choosing an attack known as cross-site request forgeries, better known as CSRF."
