How do you stop hackers?

/0 Comments/in

To stop hackers, you need to know what they do, where they log in, when they log in, and which files they modify.

If you know what hackers do, you can revert their modifications, remove backdoors, and delete their accounts.

Know what hackers do

You can get a clear overview of all events with the WPB Antivirus plugin.
This is a comprehensive antivirus plugin for WordPress that records everything that happens on your website!

An explanation of the log

Here, I will explain from left to right what you see and what you can do with that information to stop hackers.

  1. First, you see what happened. This includes logins, text modifications, file modifications.
    If you’re aware of what’s happening on your website in a timely manner, you can stop hackers in the early stages.
  2. Then you see the timestamp. This allows you to determine if the modifications occur at times when you weren’t logged in.
  3. The date is self-explanatory.
  4. The IP address. You can click on it to directly go to a GEO website that shows you where that person is located. Russia, China, America… you can quickly tell if they are hackers. Hackers often use a proxy (a fake location).
    You can block the IP address so they can’t access your website anymore. (Security » Ban Users in the plugin).
  5. If it’s a user with a registered account, you see the name, so you know who did what. (Or which account was hacked)
    Change the password in that case.
  6. In the example, it’s empty, but that’s where the requested URL is displayed. Sometimes you see files and pages that you didn’t even know existed!! (You can remove backdoors and unwanted files using an FTP program)
  7. This is also empty in the example, but here you see the destination location where a hacker ends up through their backdoor or page.
  8. The details provide even more information if available.
  9. Finally, on a scale of 1 to 10, you see the impact of an action.

Why a hacker places links in your website

/0 Comments/in

As a hard-working entrepreneur, it is hard to imagine that those “3-5 links” of advertising in your website will make someone money.
So why would a hacker bother to get them into your website?

All SEO experts know why that happens, it’s link building.

Plus, it’s pennies. With scripts, 1000s of sites are provided with those links at once.

The website to which all links point will receive a temporary boost in Google. Until Google catches on to the foul play.

In addition to temporary link building, there are always people who fall for advertising.

How that works:
Your website that has built up a good name suddenly advertises a product that will help you lose weight quickly! 1 in 10,000 people will fall into the trap of the hackers and go to the website and be seduced with a beautiful fairytale about the product… and buy the product.

But criminals do NOT deposit the money from that sold product into their own bank account.. because that’s how they can be arrested or found.

Because the money goes to an anonymous account, they will not deliver the product.
And unfortunately, the contact options on their website are fake.

100% profit.

Note: hackers & criminals will get what they deserve. That won’t bode well in the long run!
