Once said that high trees are prone to swift wind. When it comes to managing website, increasing traffic in most cases leads to increasing security threats. Even though the website contains good content and is useful to certain niche or broader audience, no exact guarantee can be made that the site is 100% secure, fully shielded and armored and will never be compromised. Site owner will never know how much his site attracts undaunted cyber ghosts to come and test the site’s security.
Since internet is the biggest library, one can get information about security breach in certain application quickly in easy manner. Search engines provide all the information, either good or bad, and perform quick search for keyword. With sufficient knowledge of exploiting search engine, one can locate where the security breach is, find the target sites, and test the water until the site gets compromised. With such easy access to exploits and hacking tools, one doesn’t need to be tech savvy to manually find the security holes. It will be even easier when the target sites use popular open source solutions because all bugs and holes are documented.
