It happens repeatedly: online stores, not just Magento stores, get hacked and become unusable, or malware steals sensitive information such as credit card numbers and email addresses.

Sometimes data is stolen without the store owner noticing. Attackers may also exploit vulnerabilities to send spam directly through your store. These are just a few scenarios that can harm your Magento store, your business and your customers.

Besides being unpleasant, an attack can cause your website to be blocked and added to a blacklist. It might look something like this:

Magento store blocked by a blacklist

Once a Magento store has been blacklisted, the reputational damage can be severe and customer trust is difficult to restore.

Do not let it get that far. Always install security patches and version updates. At https://www.magereport.com you can run a quick and free security check for your Magento 1 store.
