Since the dreaded covid19 pandemic hit, there has been a spike in cybercrime as the US FBI reported a 300% increase1. Having your website hacked is something many small business owners think only happens to big corporations. While all websites are potential targets, hackers find smaller companies attractive because they tend to have weaker online security and they don’t use strong encryption technologies. Websites need regular maintenance just like computers, mobile devices, and firewalls to prevent a cybercriminal from injecting random data queries to add, remove or steal content. Hackers can easily deface your site and redirect traffic to a malicious third-party site without you ever knowing. If this happens, you will quickly lose trust with current and potential customers if you infect their computers and mobile devices.
Be sure the person handling your website applies all necessary security patches and fixes as soon as they are available.
