Valerie: You’ll never guess what happened over the weekend.
Bill: What?
Valerie: Our website was attacked by Hackers, and nobody could Access it.
Bill: You’re kidding! What did they do?
Valerie: They got access to our Server and Embedded some Malicious code that caused the site to be redirected to their own website.
Bill: But I thought our site had really good Security. Didn’t we hire a programmer last year To encrypt the Database and Patch any Vulnerabilities?
Valerie: That’s what we should have done. So now, we’re Paying the price.
Bill: The site seems To be back up, though.
Valerie: Yeah, we brought in a specialist on Friday and she’s been working on it 24/7. Let’s hope she puts in the Security measures we should have had all along, and this will never happen again.
Bill: Right, at least until some creative hacker comes up with a new way To wreak havoc.
