Exhibit
99.1
KIWIBOX.COM
Incorporates Cuomo’s hash value database and State-of-the-art security to
insure members’ safety while they Explore, Connect, and
Party.
NEW
YORK, November 15, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KIWIBOX.COM, Inc. (OTC
Bulletin Board: KIWB), is incorporating the most recent and advanced
security and privacy features into their online community. The social
network has just implemented Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo’s hash value
database in order to block images of children being sexually abused.
Recently, other social networks have been criticized and even sued
regarding members’ privacy and rights. In comparison, Kiwibox.com is
staying ahead of the curve by efficiently integrating this advanced system
where members seldom have to worry about inappropriate content being
displayed.
This
hash value technology, supervised and maintained by the Division of
Criminal Justice Services and the Attorney General’s Office, is a system
that can identify and block child pornography images on social networking
sites. Hash values can be considered the online equivalent of fingerprints
and each image or file has its own unique fingerprint. The system that has
been created contains over 8,000 hash values associated with child
pornography images. Once these images are identified, the database stops
them from ever being displayed on a site.
Other
newly incorporated features on Kiwibox.com include Hypertext Transfer
Protocol Secure (https), which provides encrypted SSL communication and
secure identification of a networks web server. This feature will allow
members to confidently login to the community without the concern of
having their personal information being hacked or stolen by threatening
outside parties.
Since
Kiwibox members also constantly log in through their mobile devices,
security on all Kiwibox applications has increased dramatically as well.
Unlike other social networks, when a member logs on to Kiwibox.com through
their phone or other mobile device, their information (username and
password) is transported in an encrypted way. Members are assured that
their information will be kept private.
With
the addition of these new protective technologies, Kiwibox.com is ensuring
member security and safety. Because Kiwibox.com is constantly creating
innovative ideas to enhance its online community, members
definitely have a lot to look forward to in the future.
