How does malware impact your website?

Malware is designed to infiltrate your device without your knowledge and steal valuable data. There are various types of malware, but they all share a similar goal: to attack businesses and steal sensitive information. Malware attacks can target any business, from small startups to large enterprises. eCommerce websites are especially at risk due to the customer data they handle. Infected files, security issues, and restricted access to your files are just some of the problems that this type of attack can cause. Our malware scanning and cleanup service will keep your website protected from more than 2,200 cyberattacks per day.

The risk

Malware, short for malicious software, is created by cybercriminals with the intent of causing harm to a website or computer. Website malware can be used to steal vulnerable customer information, hold websites for ransom, or even take control of the website itself. Every minute, four companies fall victim to ransomware attacks. In many cases, victims of malware may not realize they’ve been attacked until it’s too late. Don’t be one of the websites that fall prey to strikes. Read more about optimizing your WordPress security.
