Sunday, 24 February 2013 00:05

I'm sure many of you surf the Internet there are sites at the entrance which starts to swear antivirus, or even instead of the site hangs completely different page or site redirects you to an unknown destination. And the daily news headlines are full of headlines that unknown hackers broke into one or another popular site. The owners of these sites know this not by hearsay, because daily hack several thousand web sites and get into this wave can be absolutely any resource. Absolutely safe code and the software does not happen, and this axiom to be learned.

To begin with let's see - who breaks the sites and why? Here we can distinguish three main groups of hackers:

1. Hackers who hack tselenopravleno any particular resource to break into the system, obtain confidential information, termination of the resource. These are people who study any resource (usually a very important and popular) for possible vulnerabilities, and if they find any, then made directly hacking. The reality is that the total number of such breaches is minimal and they concern is popular, or public resources of the state in its own security experts, why dwell on such breaches, we will not.

2. Hackers, mainly from Eastern world that mass hack sites, thus exploiting a known vulnerability in the Site or the server. The objectives of such a break is quite strange - mostly so-called "sporting interest", ie a competition to see who "more sites mangled." However, some of these hackers are quite tangible and objective, they leave behind hacking your email in the hope that the site owner will contact with him and pay for the removal of vulnerability. It's no secret that in any software from time to time find vulnerabilities that become known to the general public. Their data and exploit cracks. That is, learning about any particular vulnerability of specific "engine" of the site or server software, they find vulnerable systems and mass hack them. Are particularly vulnerable to such hacking on popular CMS, because of the fact that they are massively distributed, they have a continuing interest in them and hackers are constantly looking for new vulnerabilities. Software developers regularly cover the vulnerabilities found, but site owners usually do not watch this, and their sites are still vulnerable, that is open to hacking.

3. Hackers, mainly from the CIS countries, crack sites in order to implement the site malware that infects visitors viruses, redirects to a fraudulent resource and so on. This also includes sites and hacking to "drain traffic" or the placement of doorways. In such hacking again using known vulnerabilities in the software, as well as stealing passwords from websites through viruses that penetrate computers site owners through the same compromised sites, or use a banal "brute force" (brute-force) from the administrative panel sites. It also happens that the vulnerability of the server software, which is located on the site and then cracking will be subject to all of the sites on this server.

What can we do to ensure that this does not happen? It's pretty simple - you need to observe basic safety rules: use a good Antivirus paid to date anti-virus databases are not installed on your computer programs from unknown publishers do not store passwords on websites, as well as from the server in different programs, "zapominalka" passwords, and so on. e., to place your website on the proven and reliable hosting (by the way in Belarus, one of the best in terms of security is hosting from our partner), and most importantly - to regularly monitor the release of software updates and install them immediately.

What if the owner of the site does not have the necessary knowledge to support the Site-to-date, or it simply does not have the time? Here, the assistance may come our specialists. You can order a security audit of your site, with which we identify and close all known vulnerabilities in software site and update to the latest version or put your website on the service in our company, and then for the security of your site do not worry, because we will regularly monitor the relevance of your software and update it as well as we round the clock to monitor the status of your website.
