There\u2019s a 60% chance that one cyber attack can destroy your business.\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With more than a billion live websites out in the world, you might think the odds of a malicious actor attacking your site are unlikely. But not all sites are targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many WordPress attacks involve bots probing your site for vulnerabilities, as they seek an entry point to attack without human intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what are the most common vulnerabilities hackers leverage to break into your site?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n

Poor Hosting Environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Expect free or low-cost web hosting to overlook essential security features, such as DDoS protection, firewalls, and proactive plugin vulnerability checks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s because running a secure hosting infrastructure costs money. Therefore, companies that offer it for free or at a cheaper plan often scrimp on vital security features.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n

Compromised Login Credentials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A non-trivial percentage of hacks are perpetrated by malicious actors obtaining WordPress login credentials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although WordPress does a great job mitigating these breaches by auto-generating secure passwords, it\u2019s still up to users to keep them safe and use strong passwords for hosting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n

Outdated Core, Plugins, and Themes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that 56% of the known entry points for hackers are outdated plugins?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ignoring updates draws security vulnerabilities, leaving an open entryway for malicious actors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The consequence of cyber attacks costs an average of $200,000 for businesses of all sizes.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About 60% of hacked small to medium-sized businesses go out of business within six months. And whether you run a tiny personal blog or a huge multinational online store, the threat of getting hacked is always present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, it\u2019s essential to select a secure hosting provider for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
