Most of you have never had an account breached or shut down. I have had it happen several times, but I have more web-based properties than you, which makes me more vulnerable to attack. I have realised, though, that those bad eggs are always searching for a back door into every website they come across. Since all software has bugs, yes, all of it, there is a good chance they will find a way in. Once in, it can be difficult to get them out. The best thing you can do is to make a backup of your site before any update and afterwards. Make sure your passwords are hard to crack. Run a security plugin. I use the free version of WordFence on all my WordPress sites. Even with all these in place, a hack is still possible on the platform you are using, giving access to your account. All hacks impact your traffic flow when you rely on SEO. Your accounts are always vulnerable to attack or shut down at any moment, so you must have your own traffic source and a way to contact your audience that you control. Regards, Brent. P.S. The best way I know to build a responsive list is the way Tony Shepherd does it. You are probably aware that I rate his products and training very highly. This one is no exception. When you read through the sales page, you’ll get a much better understanding of why so many others get this wrong and don’t manage to get an email list that responds.
