Hello steemians this is my achievement2 post, Achievement two is basically about the basic security system on Steemit. So I'm going to answer five questions about Steemit security system and how well I understand it.But first I want to quickly state what security means.
what is security |

According to Merriam Webster dictionary, security is a measure taken to guard against espionage, sabotage, crime,attack or escape. At least that is the definition that applies to Steemit security system you would agree with me . So basically Steemit security system is the measure that the platform has taken to ensure that the user's account is protected from unauthorized access. This means that no unauthorised person can access a users account which therefore means that the user's information and asset is safe and secure.
