Google Security Warning: You Seriously Need to Check Your Site
Google released a warning this morning about websites that are being abused. I don’t think this was necessarily related to the other fiasco this morning where every site was tagged as malicious. But it does seem like a strange coincidence to me. Regardless everyone knows that the internet isn’t necessarily the safest place and the more you put yourself out there, the more you open yourself up for attack. Anyone who owns a website or blog is definitely a prime target. If you think you are safe because you are a small site, think again! The smaller the better because it’s more likely that someone who runs a small site might not even know that an attack is being triggered from their site. There are a variety of ways that they implement these attacks and you should be aware of the potential danger, especially for the safety of your visitors. If this morning’s upset was any indication of the potential damage that can result from your site being labeled as malicious, can you really afford to take any chances? Trust me they are not coming back to your site if they think it’s dangerous.
I highly suggest you read this article by Google on what you can do to protect you and your site.
If you think this can’t happen to your site I know of one agent who is in my city whose site at this very moment is infected with several viruses and for obvious reasons I am not going to link to it. But this is a very real thing and I can’t imagine the impact it would have on your visitors if they thought they could no longer trust your site!
*note* my site is safe and I have extra security in place to ensure that safety.
If you have something to say please leave a comment.
