Security
Security involves throwing around a lot of terms that may not make sense initially. We hope to clear up the confusion and explain many of the most used terms.
Malware
An umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of hostile or intrusive software, including computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, scareware, and other malicious programs. It can take the form of executable code, scripts, active content, and other software.
Website Blacklisting
In the context of websites, blacklisting refers to the process of search engines removing a website from their index. Webmasters pay close attention to this because when blacklisted, a site loses nearly 95% of its organic traffic, which can quickly impact sales and revenue.
Injected SEO Spam
Spam content injected onto the website will sometimes only appear if it detects that a search engine spider (Google, Bing) is viewing the page. When a normal user views the website, the website appears normally. This allows the attacker to bring SEO rankings down on the victim site, or boost another site’s SEO rankings.
Defacement
Website files have been edited to show a message from the hacker. Most instances of defacement have little to no financial incentive. They are almost always done to further some political, religious or ideological goal.
Malicious Redirects
Users who browse the website (or a specific page) will be forced to redirect to a malicious file/domain. Attacks utilizing malicious redirects are meant most of the time to spread malware to your users.
Conditional Malware
Malware that is spread based on conditions set by the attacker. This attack can be dependent on who visits the site, and/or what page the person is browsing. An attacker can use parameters such as IP addresses and browser detection.
Outdated Software
A critical security update was detected for software that is running on the website server. Security updates for content management systems fall into this category. We always recommend that security updates are installed as soon as possible.
