Full Transcript

Here are three ways to fix a hacked website, especially if someone is sabotaging your SEO with hundreds and thousands of links. So, here's what you want to do really quickly. So, first, if you got WordPress, install something like Wordfence Premium or something equivalent, and then also change the URL or the login URL. The reason you want to do this is because Wordfence and companies like it actually keep up with all the vulnerabilities of plugins and things like that. So, it's a good idea to use this to block any bots or people coming from other countries who are potential hackers who are trying to access your login page. If you're on Shopify, you don't really need to worry too much about it. If it has happened to you, contact Shopify support and also consider using some sort of protection tool on Shopify itself. The other thing I would do is secure your website login area using two-factor authentication. And so, what this will help you do is generate a code every time you log in, and so that you can apply that code. I use HeyLogin to make this more seamless. So, for example, HeyLogin allows you to capture your passwords and things like that, but also helps you to capture your two-factor authentication so that it can automatically insert your two-factor authentication with your approval. The way that that looks in the back end is is HeyLogin follows you everywhere you go on the internet, and you can simply add the login details to your HeyLogin and copy the code here. So, I do it all the time. I'm not going to do it cuz obviously that's private.

🔥Learn how to protect your website from hackers, malware and security breaches before they destroy your traffic and leads: https://www.skool.com/theconversionclinic/about?ref=87a17fd6c7cc4c648c5dae2c05f921a2 A lot of websites get hacked because of weak passwords, outdated plugins and poor security practices. Most business owners don’t realize their site is vulnerable until malware gets injected, customer data is compromised or their website gets taken offline completely. Hackers look for easy targets. If your website software, themes or plugins are outdated, you’re basically leaving the front door open. Regular updates, strong authentication, backups and proper website security measures can prevent most attacks before they happen. The good news is that securing your website doesn’t have to be complicated. A few simple precautions can protect your business, improve customer trust and save you from expensive recovery costs later. #WebsiteSecurity #CyberSecurity #WebDesign
