Frequently Asked Questions

Why Would a Hacker Attack My Website?

Well, they probably aren’t targeting you specifically. In face, the chances of the attack being personal are slim to none. More often that not, the attack places malicious code on the website to redirect your visitors to scams, other malicious websites or to steal login credentials.

Hackers, and even more-so malicious web-bots generally have motives that have nothing to do with you or the content of your website. Hackers and bots don’t care whether your website is a charity page for homeless puppies or a site with tons of cool merch for sale.

Are website hacks really that common?
  • The volume of threats doubled in 2021 versus 2020 with SMBs across the SiteLock global scanning network facing a staggering 228 million threats per month.
  • Infections of redirects involving gambling websites doubled from 2022 though the end of 2023.
  • The primary source of the increase in attack volume is malicious bots. In fact, websites received 5.5 times more traffic from bots than human users with more than 60% of those bots being malicious.
  • Malware remains a significant problem for Small Businesses. 18% of websites are infected with critical severity threats, such as backdoors and malicious file modification, and websites infected by high severity threats, which target visitors, nearly doubled in 2021 to a 26% infection rate.
  • 4.1 million websites have malware at any given time.
  • A total of 39.1% of CMS applications were outdated at the point of infection. Consider also upgrading your website hosting plan to include Managed Hosting, which includes continuous website software updates. 

The fact is that Small Business websites are a prime target for cybercriminals due to their weaker security postures. As SiteLock has seen from our research, no website is immune from the increasing volume attacks and the wide, ever-evolving variety of threats.

What is SiteLock?

SiteLock provides simple, fast and affordable website security to websites of all sizes. Founded in 2008, the company protects over 12 million websites worldwide. The SiteLock cloud-based suite of products offers automated website vulnerability detection and malware removal, DDoS protection, website acceleration, website risk assessments, and PCI compliance.

What does SiteLock do?

SiteLock provides comprehensive website security. It performs website daily scans to identify vulnerabilities or malware. When vulnerabilities or malware are found, you will be alerted immediately. Based on your SiteLock scanner, it will automatically remove any malware on your website. For content management system (CMS) websites, SiteLock can automatically patch found vulnerabilities.

What types of issues does SiteLock scan for?

SiteLock has the technology to perform a comprehensive website scan that encompasses:

  • File-based Malware Scanning and Removal: SiteLock performs daily scans of a website’s files for malware. If malware is found, the website owner is alerted immediately. SiteLock also offers comprehensive scans to automatically remove the malware.
  • Vulnerability Scanning: SiteLock performs scans of website applications for common vulnerabilities that could lead to a compromise.
  • Application Security and Vulnerability Patching: SiteLock has the technology to automatically patch vulnerabilities in content management systems (CMS).
What are vulnerabilities and malware?

website vulnerability is a weakness or misconfiguration in a website or web application code that allows an attacker to gain some level of control of the site, and possibly the hosting server. Most vulnerabilities are exploited through automated means, such as vulnerability scanners and botnets.

Malware, short for malicious software, is used to gather sensitive data, gain unauthorized access to websites and even hijack computers.

Will SiteLock impact website performance?

No. During a website scan, SiteLock downloads the relevant files to a secure server and performs scans there. There is no impact to the website content, code, bandwidth or server resources on the website.

What is the SiteLock Trust Seal?

The SiteLock Trust Seal is a widely-recognized security badge you can display on your website. It is a clear indication that your website is secure and malware-free. To add the seal to your website, simply include the code snippet that SiteLock provides in the footer area of your website.

Every 0.65 seconds, a new web page is infected with malware.
