Hacks are typically invisible but they are harmful to both site owners and visitors viewing the page. These signs should prompt immediate investigation and action to secure the website and mitigate potential damage. Regular monitoring and proactive security measures are crucial to preventing and detecting website breaches.
If you notice unexplained alterations to your website’s content, such as new pages, strange links, or unfamiliar images, it could indicate unauthorized access.
A hacked website may experience a significant decrease in loading speed or overall performance due to the addition of malicious scripts or increased server load from bot activity.
Visitors may be redirected to unrelated or malicious websites without their consent. This could be caused by injected code designed to divert traffic for nefarious purposes.
Browsers or search engines may flag your website as potentially harmful or compromised, displaying warnings to users when they attempt to visit.
An influx of suspicious traffic, such as a sudden increase in bot visits or traffic from unfamiliar locations, may indicate a hacking attempt or compromised security measures.
Neglecting to address a hacked website in a timely manner can have severe repercussions, ranging from damage to reputation and loss of trust to financial losses and legal liabilities. It’s essential to prioritize security and take swift action to remediate any security breaches to minimize the impact on your website and its users.
Visitors who encounter a hacked website may lose trust in the site and its owners. This can damage your reputation and deter potential customers or users from returning.
Hackers may exploit vulnerabilities to access sensitive information stored on the website, such as user data, payment details, or proprietary information. A data breach can result in financial losses, legal liabilities, and regulatory penalties.
Search engines like Google may blacklist or penalize hacked websites, reducing their visibility in search results. This can significantly impact web traffic and online visibility, affecting the website’s reach and effectiveness.
Hacked websites can become vectors for malware distribution, infecting visitors’ devices and spreading malicious software. This can lead to further security issues and damage to the reputation of both the website and its owners.
A compromised website can result in financial losses due to downtime, decreased sales or conversions, costs associated with remediation efforts, and potential legal expenses or fines resulting from regulatory violations.
Depending on the nature of the breach and applicable laws, website owners may face legal consequences for failing to protect user data, violating privacy regulations, or enabling illegal activities through the compromised website.
We’re sorry for the lengthy text, but website security can be a dull topic. Don’t let it scare you! Trust us to handle the problem so you can focus on what truly matters – your happiness!
We can fix websites infected with redirect virus script, Trojans, backdoors, shell scripts, and other malicious code from PHP, JS, HTML, images, system files, and even binary files! Our powerful virus scanning tool uses its own anti-malware database to accurately remove malware from files.
As long as your hosting space allows FTP access, it doesn’t matter what CMS your website runs on. Be it WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, PrestaShop, we can fix it!
If you don’t want a website clean-up, there are other ways to get your website up and running again.
We only need your website’s FTP info so we can scan your files, clean up the bad ones, and get your website up and running again.
Depending on how big your website is, ie in terms of file counts and database size. It may take from 20 mins to couple of hours to clean. Also subject to complexity and severity of the damages caused. One thing is for sure, we’ll constantly keep you posted on the progress.
There can be many reasons on why a website is compromised— poor hosting set-up, outdated software, or even bad password.
Out-of-date software: Over six out of 10 CMS applications are out of date when they get infected. Attackers tend to seek out old software with little security updates, which are more vulnerable. Keep the following updated to decrease your chances of getting attacked again:
Compromised passwords: Your password may be randomly guessed by attackers and used to enter your website. To prevent future attacks, it is important to create a strong password that is difficult to guess and make use of two-factor authentication (2FA) which adds another layer of login credentials.
Unfortunately we can’t. If you don’t fix the root of the cause, hackers may still find their way to your website again no matter how many times we clean your website. The good news is, you may sign up for our maintenance plan so we can continue to protect your website – check out WebSifu Plus and WebSifu Start!
In the unlikely event that we fail to clean your website (i.e. the website is beyond fixing), we’ll return your money and advise you to consider rebuilding the website.
