Did your business website get hacked? If so, what did you do?

If my business site was hacked, I would immediately change all of my passwords, contact my web host, and contact a professional security expert to assess the situation and help me secure the site. I would also contact law enforcement if the hack was malicious or if any customer data was stolen. The security expert could also help with identifying the source of the attack and ensuring the attack does not happen again.

I have not experienced this with the website embedded my online shop. I am sure it is secure because it is an online shopping app.

No, I have never experienced such a thing, but I think the first thing I would do would be to contact the hosting provider and ask them for help and what to do in these cases really.

I have never experienced a business being hacked before, maybe because it is a small business website

Never but if it ever happened. it is to change all credentials used on the site and increase the knowledge so that it can't be easily hacked

I have never experienced it before. My Facebook account have been hacked once. It is very depressing experience. I try everything to recover to recover the account but it failed woefully. It is so painful.

If a business site gets hacked, the first step is to shut down the site and investigate the cause of the hack. Change all passwords, run virus scans, and restore a backup of the site if possible. It is also important to inform customers and stakeholders about the issue and take measures to prevent future hacks.

Sometimes I wonder why they hack others social media accounts to get what from it exactly. it doesn't even make sense to me.

I had a Facebook page that I used as my business page. It hit hacked. The first thing I did was to send a public message that the page was hacked so my customers would not be defrauded.

Thankfully, my websites have never been hacked. In case my websites get hacked, I will try to put the website offline through cpanel and in thje mean time work on the security of my website

It's good to always have daily backup of your website for issues like this. It's also good to maintain good security measures for your website so hackers won't get access.

My business did not get hacked, but it is better to improve your security measures.

I remember when I used to run PayPal exchange to naira they used to hack my PayPal account every week. And that's one of the reasons I stopped the business.

Any business that is being done online, security measures should be taken to protect the business. Whether you are using your social media page to sell, be sure to protect it.

Luckily I have not had a business website hacked in the past or at all which I am very happy about but if it were to happen to me, the first thing I would do would be to contact my hosting service and let them know and ensure that all passwords I had were reset.

 

[gammarays]

Whenever you're creating a website, it's very important to have a backup of the website. You can also do a regular backup maybe weekly or monthly. If your site is hacked, you can always restore the backed up version.

 

[Stardom22]

I too have never experienced such a thing before. However the best thing for you to do whenever that happens is to consult your web hosting providers and maybe Creating of difficult and strong passwords can help.
