In a previous email, , I wrote about how bad actors are constantly probing websites and devices for openings. In the last two days I’ve had two websites under concentrated attacks. My security plugin keeps them out, and I trust it to continue doing that. But it is a reminder that there is always the risk of attack. Some misguided people think they don’t need protection because “there’s nothing of interest on my site”, but they don’t understand that it’s not your content they are after. They’ll use your email address at your site to spam. They’ll use your website as a ‘drive-by‘ attack site. They’ll use your site as a PBN. They’ll use your site as a bot host to attack other sites. They’ll use your information to build a fake identity. And there are many other ways they can use what you pay for to advance their petty schemes that will impact you. Get a good anti-virus program on your devices. I use Eset because it’s the best and not expensive. I’ve used Eset for over 20 years, and it has never let me down. On your WordPress blogs you’ll need the Wordfence plugin. I only use the free version because that’s all you need. You need these now because you will get targeted if you haven’t already. Regards, P.S. The Internet is stable today, so I got to write this email in one go rather than the two hours for yesterday’s email. Did you look at the photos here? I’ve set that page so you can comment if you choose. |
