Infrastructure Security
How our servers, networks, and code stay safe from attacks.
Most members never see this layer of security, but it runs around the clock to keep RateAds online and safe.
Hardened Servers
Our servers run on a small, audited base image. They have minimal services and strict firewalls. Only the people who need access can reach them, and access is logged.
Encrypted Networks
All traffic between our services is encrypted. Database links, internal APIs, and admin tools all use mutual TLS. There is no plain-text traffic between parts of our system.
Continuous Testing
We run automatic security scans on every code change. Independent audits and a public bug bounty program are on our roadmap; until then, please report anything you find directly to us.
