How can I prevent an infection on my websites?
The vast majority of infections occur due to the webmaster's lack of knowledge, which is why at Profesional Hosting we try to raise awareness among our clients about the importance of keeping their websites up to date, both the Script they use and all their components "modules and themes", as not doing so entails a high risk for our site. But these factors are not the only ones that can endanger the security of our website, also the use of nulled modules or themes, can lead to our website being infected, since it is very difficult to detect if they may carry malicious code.
How can I detect an infection on my website?
Detecting an infection on our website today is relatively easy and does not require technical knowledge thanks to the large number of resources we can find on the Internet. The most common and simple infections are those that introduce malicious code into a file, for which we have, for example, two pages that will help us analyze our website in search of malicious code in its files; www.sitecheck.sucuri.net and www.siteguarding.com/en/sitecheck. But this does not mean that there are no more complex infections that have to be detected and reviewed by technicians.
With these two pages, we can analyze the files on our website and they will inform us if they are infected, but they will not warn us if our database is the one that contains the infection.
How can we disinfect our website?
Once our website is infected, the procedure is to restore a copy prior to the infection so that the client can update their site and prevent it. In the event that there is no copy available, it will be necessary to delete the code found in the files. For this, at Profesional Hosting we have the disinfection service Find and Fix from Sitecheck, which is linked to our website's domain and periodically analyzes our website to eliminate future infections that may arise on our website and indicate if our website may be at risk due to a high degree of vulnerabilities.
