Times are serious (but not hopeless).<\/p>\n\n
Indeed, we are facing a global increase in the attack rate, code-named “Increased Attack Rate”.<\/p>\n\n
“What is this all about now?” you might ask.<\/p>\n\n
(And you’d be right: in IT, it seems we can’t get 5 minutes of peace…)<\/p>\n\n
The basic idea is simple: cyber pirates, or hackers, are constantly launching large-scale automated attack series (and it’s been worse since the democratization of AI. What were they thinking?). Their goal is to find new vulnerabilities in websites.<\/p>\n\n
(Why? Mystery and a bit of a joke! Seriously, not everyone has industrial secrets to exploit or for which ransomware would be worth it… It seems some people are just malicious. On that philosophical note, I invite you to read on, as it’s highly likely to concern you:)<\/em><\/p>\n\n However, WordPress sites represent a significant portion of websites worldwide (is yours one of them?), which means hackers are refining their strategies to exploit the weaknesses of this type of platform.<\/p>\n\n Specifically, we are experiencing 3 types of attacks:<\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n\n In summary, these attacks primarily aim to slow down our infrastructure, but also to inject malicious scripts and degrade the website via a commonly called “sieve” extension (do you get the picture? So, no need to tell you what that entails).<\/p>\n\n Fortunately, at CybSyn, we have a slogan that’s not to be sniffed at:<\/p>\n\n Our priority: your security<\/strong><\/p>\n\n (and that of our servers)!<\/p>\n\n That’s why the Boss and the rest of the team are currently following an action plan specifically designed for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n It’s a secret, but it essentially involves “in-house” settings, mainly at the firewall level, and you won’t get the details because they’re too technical for this newsletter (if you’re truly curious AND knowledgeable on the subject, write to us).<\/p>\n\n Furthermore, every week, we do our utmost to update all your extensions, themes, and WordPress.<\/p>\n\n So, we promise you swing, software, and weapons against malicious hackers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are facing a global increase in the attack rate, code-named “Increased Attack Rate”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2367,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2366","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hosting"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
