We have had a number of client websites hacked within the last year, requiring major action by us to get them cleaned.
A hacked website can include:
- The site going down completely
- Hackers totally substituting their content for yours, usually with links to other sites
- A "This site may be hacked" notification on Google whenever someone searches for your site
- Malicious malware hidden inside the files of your website
- Your hosting company taking down your site because of "excessive CPU usage" caused by the hackers, or because they detect malware on your site
We advise all our clients and others to take steps to protect your website against this very real threat.
