Improved security verification for VentureOS
Yesterday, someone tried to impersonate us on Twitter/X by cloning our account with a handle that closely resembles ours.
They bought 50k followers and started off their attack following some of ours followers.
Unlucky for them, they followed the Seed Labs founders (us)...
The report to X was swift and the account was taken down within a few hours. But this got us thinking: it is far too easy for people to impersonate us!
Especially given that our entire core product can be whitelabeled and served on a customer's domain, how do you know you're using the real VentureOS and being phished?
Introducing the Security Home
Today, we're launching a security page that will be the home for all security-related feature. Two features are live today:
-
Domain verification. Enter any website domain and we'll confirm if it's a valid VentureOS customer or not. We've also added a convenient security badge on the login page of all whitelabeled customer sites that takes you to this feature.
-
External account verification. Account verification: confirm that the Twitter account you might be interacting with is the real deal.
A culture of speed and security
Security is not a one-time thing. As new threats come up, you'll see our security page evolve. And within less than 24 hours of the impersonation incident, you'll know that we do do it fast.
