Security & Infrastructure
You can be confident when using VAuctions or VCoins that your information is secure. Beware sites that suggest they are secure because they use SSL -- that is just a very small step in a comprehensive security program. SSL protects only the communication between your browser and the server, but does nothing to protect your data once it has reached the server. In addition, some SSL ciphers are vulnerable, and if the server you're communicating with happens to use one of those, your SSL connection is vulnerable.
Our infrastructure consists of six fully redundant HP Compaq ProLiant DL380 servers (the world's best selling server), two HP Compaq ProLiant DL320 utility servers, three HP Compaq NAS1200S online storage units with more than 4 Terabytes of backup capacity, and two redundant Juniper Netscreen 25 firewalls. We do not use garage-built desktop machines and call them "servers".
Both VAuctions and VCoins are tested daily with sophisticated simulated hacking attacks. These simulated attacks are designed to expose potential software design flaws, and are required by the Payment Card Industry (PCI) data security standards. Both VAuctions and VCoins are PCI Certified Compliant. We also use state-of-the-art artificial intelligence tools to identify and thwart hacking attempts.
