Fraud and Security


What a secure page on a Mac looks like
What a secure page on a PC may look like

In J.Crew’s terms of use they promise to investigate instances of fraud and account security breaches. The J.Crew website is managed from the United States and is owned and operated by J.Crew Group, Inc. J.Crew’s website makes sure that their customer is protected along with any information they chose to save to their account. Frequent purchases made under the same credit card or billing address may be restricted if deemed suspicious or violating J.Crew’s terms of use. In order to enhance the shopping experience for customers there is a limit to how much one person can purchase online. In addition to this, commercial amounts of products are not authorized to be purchased through the website. J.Crew is very organized when it comes to the control they have on their website. There is opportunity to add other security measures to the website to ensure the safety of both the customers and the company. J.Crew uses a 128-bit Secure Socket Layer protocol to protect online order information. This system encrypts order information and protects it from being decoded by someone other than J.Crew. The checkout page of an online order is a secured page and the url should say “https” instead of “http”, there will also be a key or lock icon (depending on the browser) at the bottom of your internet browser to show that it is a secured page. The only threat or potential weakness of J.Crew’s control of their website would be security and fraud issues that go undetected.
