Increased risks of hackers, data theft, viruses, and targeted brute-force attacks are reinforcing the need for businesses to heighten and prioritize WordPress website security. Website security is critical for all businesses with an online presence.The increase of security vulnerabilities and sophisticated attacks on the web over the last few weeks makes it essential that all businesses using WordPress or any platform to take immediate steps to secure WordPress business websites as soon as possible. Tech agencies are reporting that these attacks are far from over, and in fact are expected to increase in the coming weeks.
Reasons why these attacks matter:
1. These attacks use brute-force techniques to log into WordPress dashboards (often using the common "admin" username) and then plant malicious code into the compromised blogs and sites.
2. This particular brute-force flood of attacks appear to be trying to access WordPress sites and implant a code for Blackhole Exploit Kit redirection pages.
3. Once they are in, it makes it very easy for them to return at will, and access the compromised website.
4. Minimally, a website could end up redirecting to an external site that has nothing to do with the business, and may even contain a message from a hacker.
5. If businesses do not have a pre-hacked backup of their site, it may be impossible to re-create the website and the content on the website. Without current backups, this process will be very costly, and potentially impossible.
6. If this happens, the business and brand can be negatively impacted.
