☠️ el.innerHTML = userInput is how XSS gets in. The string is parsed as HTML — a crafted <img onerror> or injected handler runs.

✅ Want text? Use textContent:
el.textContent = userInput; // rendered literally, never executed

🔒 Only use innerHTML with content you control or have sanitized. Default to textContent.

The Internet's Biggest Lie: Your Password Is Never Actually Verified

Every day, billions of people type a password, click "Sign In," and assume the server simply compares it with the one stored in its database.

In reality, that's not how modern authentication works.

Behind every successful login is a carefully engineered process involving HTTPS, TLS, cryptographic hashing, salting, sessions, JWTs, and multi-factor authentication—all working together to protect your identity.

I recently wrote an article exploring what actually happens after you click "Sign In" and why understanding authentication matters for developers, cybersecurity professionals, and anyone building secure applications.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

PCI compliance is not just about payment forms and SSL certificates.

Hosting decisions influence security posture through patching, access controls, monitoring, backups, hardening, and infrastructure design. Strong hosting does not make a store automatically compliant, but it can reduce risk significantly.
