Mythbusters
Tip #2
“We've
never had a problem with hackers in the past, so why do we need better
security now?”
This
is a classic case of denial. With free tools now allowing hackers to
attack thousands of websites simultaneously, the question isn't if
hackers will target your website, but when. The
people at eBay and CIBC were probably patting themselves on the back
for their perfect record of no known security breaches... right before
the breaches happened. Being proactive about website security is no
longer optional for those who care about their website visitors,
customers, partners and of course, their organization's reputation.
Spam-Alot
Spammers
are linking to blogs, profiles and other pages on these trusted sites
to give victims a false sense of security that the links can be
followed safely. These sites may not have been hacked, but following
the spam links to these sites and clicking on links shown there can
result in harm to your computer.
