World Wide WordPress Attack – Are You Ready?

You Wouldn’t Leave your Front Door Open to Thieves …So Why Leave your Website Open to Hackers?

Right now, unidentified hackers have launched a large-scale global attack against WordPress blogs worldwide. The attack is using a large distributed botnet of infected home PC’s to lead the attack, making traditional security such as WordPress Login protectors useless. At last measure, over 90,000 individual compromised addresses were included, making blocking individual attacks extremely difficult.

Security blog KrebsonSecurity reports on the esclating series of online attacks designed to break into poorly secured WordPress blogs. Infected sites can then be infected with a backdoor that allows an attacker to control the site.

If your site is hacked, it is highly likely that your website’s front page will be defaced, and your site could even start displaying a warning to everyone who visits!

Don’t let this be displayed to anyone visiting your site!

The consequences can be huge:

  • You could lose customers who arrive at your website and find a malware warning
  • Your reputation could be damaged
  • Your site’s ranking in Google can drop, or even be entirely de-indexed
  • The longer your site stays hacked, the worse the risk of extensive damage

 

 

 

 

Amazon, Microsoft, Sony, Yahoo, Apple and Visa and just a handful of companies that have reported being hacked over the last two years. If it can happen to the big boys, it can definitely happen to you.
