Hacked Website Repair

Websites are susceptible to security risks. A popular attack on websites involves the silent, concealed installation of code capable of exploiting browsers. These attacks do not target your website. There are thousands of compromised websites. These website owners have no idea that something has been done to their websites and that their visitors may be at risk. Site visitors are also being attacked. Successful attacks include those that inject offensive code onto their computers. Let’s take a look at some reasons hackers attack websites and create hack scenarios.

What are Hackers Looking for?

  • To Steal money: This is the main reason hackers attack websites. Online banking has made hacker life much easier. These hackers just need to be aware of security holes in these websites. They almost become the owners of the money once they have them.
  • To Steal Value Information: Hackers not only aim to steal money but also seek out personal information. Identity theft is when hackers can steal your identity to their advantage. They can use your credit card information to steal your identity and obtain your Social Security Number to open credit lines, drain your accounts, or frame others.
  • To Get Attention: Hackers attack websites to get attention, boredom, or simply to get noticed. This type of hacking is sometimes beneficial because it exposes vulnerabilities in online security and allows for a more robust system.
  • To Interrupt Service – Hackers sometimes target websites in an attempt to shut down or render a website unusable. Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS), attacks are a great way to disrupt the services provided by web servers. These attacks involve hackers taking control of several computers to then use them to ping one specific webserver to overload it, ultimately shutting down the site.
