Protective Measures to Evade Website Hacking Efforts

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Feb. 22, 2016 - PRLog -- With the start of 2016, website hacking attempts seem to be on the rise. According to a report, Google SERPs show more websites that have irrelevant and spam content, clearly indicating that those websites are hacked. Funny thing is that the old techniques, such as bait-and-switch, for hacking websites are also being successful. Yet Google clarifies that this rise in hacking attempts isn’t due to any loophole that could have supposedly been created due to algorithm updates.

The reason for rise in website hacking is that hackers have got smarter in their approach. The main technique they would apply usually involves sending warning messages which look like Google’s warning. These warnings prompt the user to perform specific fixing or cleaning operation which, in reality, would give access of website to the hacker.
