Recently, there has been a rash of automated hacker attacks, defacing websites across the globe that don’t employ adequate security measures. Earlier this week, several friends of mine had their sites hacked and defaced. Most of these attacks don’t come from experienced hackers — they come from script kiddies employing automated scripts and a network of compromised computers (botnets). Even though these junior hackers may be inexperienced, they know enough to take down your site, and I don’t need to explain how much that can cost your business in lost revenue.
Don’t worry though, there is a simple solution that will reduce your site’s susceptibility to these attacks, and buy you some time to plug security holes. It’s relatively easy to implement, even if you’re not a security expert.
