Do you have a business website or online store? Thousands of websites are being compromised everyday. Hacks are typically invisible but they are harmful to both site owners and visitors viewing the page.
Signs that your website has been compromised:
1. Your website is redirecting visitors to other questionable sites
Malicious redirects are used by attackers to generate advertising impressions on their own websites. Many site owners will be unaware that their website is redirecting visitors as it is not easy to detect these redirects. They may only happen to some site visitors on certain pages and not others, or it may only happen to mobile users and not web users.
2. Your website is flagged by search engines as being hacked or unsafe
Certain search engines such as Google will send site owners an alert of a compromised website. However, site owners may or may not see a warning on the search engine that their site is compromised. This is because even with the notifications, the hacked content may not appear on the search engines. This doesn’t mean that the website is safe. Hackers may be using a cloaking technique which shows different content to different users, making the detection of the hacked content by site owners much more difficult.
3. Your website is shut down by your hosting provider
To protect other sites on the server, some hosts will automatically suspend and take a website offline if they detect that it has been compromised.
What happens if you don’t get your hacked website fixed in time?
1. Loss of customers
With warnings and flags from search engines, your customers will avoid clicking on your compromised website. Eventually, your search engine rankings will start to drop due to lesser clicks, leading to an even greater loss of traffic in future.
2. Loss of sensitive information
The harmful code on the infected website has the potential to record keystrokes on visitors’ computers and steal login credentials for online banking or financial transactions.
3. Banned by search engines
This is every business owner’s worst nightmare. Without ranking on search engines, it’ll be harder for customers and potential customers to find your products and services online. In turn, this decreases the conversions, leads, and sales generated.
