Neobux security card

POSTED by neobux admin on 12/24/08 (neobux forum)

"It's all about security!
As you all know, NeoBux is the most secured PTC.
Although our security is the highest in the industry, it's never enough.
Our main issue with security comes directly from the user's themselves who, for negligence or bad luck, fail to protect their accounts as they should.

To put an end to sleepless nights, NeoBux is introducing the world's first PTC Security Card.
This is a major step towards our commitment to protect user's accounts and another one of NeoBux's innovations.



What's a Security Card and why do I need one?
A Security Card is a physical card (yes, the pretty ones you keep in your wallet) which will be shipped directly to your home address (or any address you like) and this card will make your account as secure as you want it to be.

There are 3 simple steps you need to be able to use the card:
1 - Purchase the card.
2 - Enter your postal address.
3 - Activate the card.

After you've completed steps 1 and 2, a unique security card will be manufactured and shipped to you.
This card will have your username and a unique grid (matrix) of codes and a unique global security code.
Once you receive the card, you only need to activate it once and configure the security settings you feel most comfortable with.

The method to protect your account will always be the same: You'll need the security card for everything you defined as locked.
Anytime you need to access a locked area, you'll unlock it with the card and you won't need the card again until a specified (by you) idle time.
On a side note, this card isn't a debit or credit card.

So, what can you lock?
First, let's make two groups:
1 - Global Lock: This is where, right after login, you'll need the card to unlock all of your account usage.
2 - Specific Locks: Here, you'll define only certain areas of the site to lock.

Here are the specific areas you can individually lock:
- Forum & Chat: Useful so that no one who may enter your account can post nonsense or request information on your behalf.
- Personal Settings: So that no one can change your settings (such as emails or passwords)
- Advertisements visualization: Prevents usage of autoclickers from a malicious user
- Cashouts: Prevents the cashout of your balance
- Jackpots: Prevents the hacker from spending your money
- Purchases: Prevents the hacker from making purchases in your behalf thus securing your account from fraudulent transactions
- Balance Transfers: Prevents the transfer of your main balance to other balances
- Referral management (recycling, renting, etc): Prevents the payment of referral management

This areas will always be locked:
- Card Settings: This way no one will be able to unlock areas without the card
- Support/Live Support: This way no one will be able to impersonate you under a support request

You may wonder why not only a global lock...
Well, we have many users who all live different lives and think in a different way.
Imagine a user who keeps his/her card locked in a safe at home just for unlocking personal settings and cashouts. Why? Because he can't have the risk of taking the card with him/her and does his/her clicks somewhere else and even browses and posts at the forums in the same location.
Many variables and situations can be exemplified but, you're you and you know exactly what you need to make you safe and trouble free.

Masked Login:
In addition to all of this, you'll have the option to make a masked login.
A masked login is basically a login using the verification code in your card instead of your username.
This is an amazing security feature by itself.
For example: Imagine your username is "NeoBux" and your password is "1234". If you have the masked login active, even if someone tried to enter your account with the right username and password, they'll get an error as if the login was wrong and you'll get a warning.
To login, you'll have to enter your card's unique verification code as the username and your password(s). This way you can freely show your username and statistics to the world without fear.

And how does the security card really work?
The process is quite simple.
The matrix on the card is composed by a 7x7 grid where each cell has 4 numbers giving a total of 196 random numbers. From these 196 numbers, a combination of 3 will be requested.
Every time the security card is needed, you'll be asked to supply the 3 numbers from the card's grid (matrix) along with the card's verification code. After a few failed attempts, your account will be temporarily locked and you'll be warned."
