Understanding why websites get hacked:
WordPress websites can get hacked for many reasons. However, here are four main reasons why websites get hacked.
1) Outdated software: Websites that use outdated software are more susceptible to cyberattacks. Hackers exploit the known vulnerabilities in the older versions of software to gain access to the website.
2) Weak passwords: Weak passwords are one popular vulnerability that hackers exploit to break into your website. Hackers guess your password using tools and attack your data, network, and system.
3) Malware: Hackers use Malware to spread viruses or launch attacks on your website. They (malware) are generally transmitted through infected files or outdated plugins.
4) SQL injection: SQL injection is a technique where hackers insert malicious code into a website's database. This can result in sensitive information being stolen or misused.
