How to avoid getting hacked

February 7, 2012

As I mentioned last week my site had major issues in the past week. I experienced an unusual amount of downtime from my host at the same time I found out my site had malware. To say Monday (and the rest of the week) was stressful is an understatement. In layman’s terms the downtime means [...]
