We also asked if they are worried about the security of the websites and more than 73% of digital<br />
agencies and freelancers said they are increasingly worried about website security.<br />

Websites are being hacked<br />
We also discovered that 25% of the responders have seen a hacked website in the past month prior to<br />
participating in the survey. This gives us a good understanding about the magnitude of the problem.<br />
Websites are infected with malware and used to run further attacks against other websites and<br />
businesses. Hacked websites are often used to direct traffic to malicious sites, to steal credit card<br />
in<strong>for</strong>mation and in some cases to even infect the visitor’s computers.<br />
Additionally, hosting phishing pages on hacked websites has become an increasingly popular tactic to<br />
steal credentials of third-party services.<br />
Meanwhile, E-commerce websites are often targeted to inject websites with JavaScript based keyloggers<br />
to steal credit card details of online shoppers.<br />
While gaining access to one small website might not be too valuable, exploiting a popular plugin<br />
can give the attacker access to hundreds of thousands or even to millions of sites with a single<br />
coordinated attack.<br />
Community powered website security<br />
The developer’s community backing the open source projects like WordPress is strong and growing fast.<br />
Patchstack is now set on a mission to build a strong community of security researchers behind such<br />
popular projects too.<br />
