Problems associated with a compromised or what is more knows as “hacked” blog are not limited to lost productivity and income that could be generated while that blog is down. Less obvious are apsects that have huge impact on your business but unknown to you until it is too late.
Expert Consulting Expense. If you became dependant on your blog to continu generating income, leads, sales - you have no choice but to get it up and operational as fast as possible in most often don't have the experience and need to hire professional to do it for you. I can tell you first hand, as security consultant that it can get very expensive in a very short time. Expert consulting bill tend to increase fast and can end up being very expensive.
Search engines ban. Even though most people don't even know about it - search engines ban sites that have been compromised by hackers. Most of the time blog owner doesn't even know aboout the problem until someone choose to notify him directly. It can directly hurt your cash flow as visitors who click on your link in search engine results are presented with a malware worning instead of being sent to your blog. You could have had new visitors but instead you got lost opportunities.
Damaged reputation. If you blog is also used to represent you on the web – your reputation can be damaged in the eyes of potential customers just because your blog was defaced or what is even worth exploited and has malware on it. When your potential customers get infected – you can be damn sure that will let others know about it!
Having a secure WordPress blog can be a simple 3 step process that properly implemented can mean a difference between blogging success and trashed reputation. Make a choice that is most tuned to your needs.
