Question about beefing up security of the website
Our website was just hacked and we were told that it will take 24-48 hours to do a system restore to the time before we were hacked. Does anyone have any advice as to what measures could be done to avoid being hacked in the future?
While there are some standard measures you can take on any site, a little more detail would be helpful. Is it a Wordpress site? Something else? The security companies will tell you that the number one thing they see are weak and shared passwords. Next would be things not being kept up to date -- I manage hundreds of Wordpress sites and it is essential for us to keep Wordpress itself, as well as plugins we use up to date as once vulnerabilities are found, exploits appear quickly.
