It’s often said, sometimes incorrectly attributed, that “works are never truly completed, only abandoned.” This rings especially true for website development, serving both as a caution and a testament to diligence. An unmaintained website is a beacon for security risks, jeopardizing your organization’s digital presence, credibility, and the privacy of user data.
A Vulnerable Digital Landscape
In the digital realm, security is paramount. The “All in One” SEO WordPress plugin—a tool on over three million sites—was recently discovered to have significant security flaws. Despite a swift patch release, an astonishing 800,000 sites were still exposed after two weeks.
The High Stakes of a WordPress Breach
When a WordPress hack occurs, the potential for damage is vast: from ransom demands to customer data theft and spreading of malware. Such threats are why Watermelon Web Works emphasizes the importance of our Security and Performance (S&P) plans.
