| 1430228 | 2016-12-26 06:17:00 | We have a business website and we were hacked five days before Christmas. We are going to upgrade our security tool and I wonder what is the difference between web security scan and other security services? Can it provide "extra" security measurements? | lighttickled (17211) | ||
| 1430229 | 2016-12-26 07:23:00 | Maybe even anti-spam protection? | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1430230 | 2016-12-27 06:22:00 | A web scanner tools can scan web applications . It could be a relevant tool that can find vulnerabilities and fix it. | Octavia Robards (17490) | ||
| 1430231 | 2016-12-27 22:56:00 | you have to have some idea of how to class the results from a web scanner - many will be no threat at all. Also, web scanners will NOT fix anything. |

| 1430232 | 2016-12-28 03:22:00 | There's a lot of ways a website can be hacked. Since you mention "web security scan", I assume you mean DongIT's product from the Netherlands, and you're using PHP. Is that correct? May I ask how you know you were hacked? Did a hacker take complete control of your website / database engine? |

Is that correct? May I ask how you know you were hacked? Did a hacker take complete control of your website / database engine? I am not sure how our website was hacked. I used a very strong password, but when I checked our contact details it was then altered. I already asked my IT friends as well as this is bothering me all night long. Hackers do not have a complete control of our website. I have tried as well a lot of things to secure everything in place. I even called some providers like BeyondTrust to help eliminate the threat. This is so important to us and I do not know what to do in case we lose everything. Thanks for your immediate response! |

At Webdrive it was our number one reason. We shut websites all the time until they'd fixed it. We were forever telling people to update them. Most were oblivious. |

Are you serious? Or is that some kind of "tongue in cheek" remark I can't believe you would think it would be that simple.... |
