Your Website is Under Attack & What You Need to Do

It’s not uncommon for hackers that represent websites of questionable moral character to try to benefit them by injecting code into websites like yours to display links to their website when your site is crawled by a search engine. Your human visitors can’t see the links, they are placed there for search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo to see.

You might wonder how this happens? Many websites use a content management system such as WordPress, or plugins such as online forms, maps, analytics, etc. It’s convenient, and cost-effective, for developers to use these pre-existing features but most release upgrades that need to be implemented or outdated versions can leave the door open to hackers.
