SECURITY RISKS

Today's Website Security Risks

Understanding the most common threats targeting websites today

DDoS Attacks

DDoS Attacks

Traffic attacks can overload websites and disrupt online services, making your site unavailable to legitimate visitors.

Can affect any website, any size
Malware

Malware Infections

Malicious files can damage websites, steal data, or redirect visitors — often without the site owner being aware.

Can go undetected for weeks
Vulnerable Plugins

Vulnerable Plugins

Outdated plugins and themes can expose websites to attacks — a common entry point for threats on CMS platforms.

Common on WordPress sites
Brute Force

Brute Force Attacks

Repeated login attempts can target admin areas and weak passwords, seeking to gain unauthorised access to your website.

Targets admin login pages
Phishing

Phishing & Redirects

Compromised websites may be used to redirect visitors or host fraudulent content — harming users and damaging your reputation.

Can trigger browser blacklisting
Data Exposure

Data Exposure

Poor configuration can expose customer data, forms, or website files — creating compliance risks and loss of visitor trust.

Often caused by misconfiguration
