A hacked WordPress website can cause serious damage to your business’s revenue and reputation. Hackers can steal user information and passwords, install malicious software, and even distribute malware to your users.
Worst, you may find yourself paying ransomware to hackers just to regain access to your website.
Every day, Google warns 12-14 million users that a website they are trying to visit may contain malware or steal information.
Furthermore, Google blacklists around 10,000+ websites each day for malware or phishing.
Just as business owners with a physical location have the responsibility of safeguarding their property, online business owners need to pay extra attention to their WordPress security.
