Our September 2024 eCommerce ThreatScape Report is ready and here are a few of the highlights:
Portfolio: 16m+ websites.
Slight DECREASE in "hacked sites".
INCREASE of digital loader and digital skimmer malware.
Yes, we have seen a slight decrease (of 1.9%) in the number of hacked sites, BUT we are detecting MORE malware (2-3% growth over last month's record) - many sites are riddled with many different types of malware.
And then, an interesting Top 5 most targeted platforms:
Wordpress
Magento 2
Magento 1
Shopify
Prestashop
Here's the report:
What are the reasons for these sites getting hacked?
Most often it is down to simple website management and cyber security hygiene. If you are doing the basics well, then your business is unlikely to fall victim - this is a numbers game and criminals are generally looking for an easy way to get their malware on as many sites as possible.
What are the BASICS?
We consider the BASICS to be:
Multi-Factor Authentication for Admin accounts.
Patching - quickly.
Security monitoring and protection - stay proactive with understanding your website security.
Web Application Firewall.
