Security¶
Is (my data on) Ponyland safe?
Really depends on what you mean by safe:
Safe against | Typical counter measures | Do we do that? |
---|---|---|
Hackers breaking breaking into Ponyland and stealing your data | Separate accounts with limited permissions, network activity monitoring, regular updates | Yes |
Passwords thieves logging in with your password and stealing your data | Two-factor authentication | No |
Other Ponyland users looking at your data while not allowed | Linux permission system | Yes (well actually: YOU do this) |
You making your data public by accident | Not much, maybe software tests? | No |
Your data being erased by system failures or human errors | Backups | Sometimes, see backups |
Hostage takers encrypting your data and selling you the encryption key | Linux permission system (don't make your data writable) | YOU do this |
