Hackers and would-be hackers are everywhere trying to inflict all sort of harm to any website they can penetrate. US government websites have been hacked in the past. The most recent high profile hacking incident occurred when unknown hackers hijacked the Spanish official website for its presidency of the EU and inserted a large picture of the comic character Mr Bean. So what are the extra tips that can help one prevent such attacks from hackers?
·Avoid using Internet Explorer to log on to your website. This web browser is more vulnerable to hacker attacks more than any web browser known to man. You may want to use Google chrome or Mozilla Firefox. Any other web browser other than Internet Explorer would do.
·Change your password every week. Don't use your name or the name of any known thing. In fact, use capital letters, small case letters numbers, and symbols if possible and keep it long. Make it senseless in order to prevent dictionary attacks.
·Always escape variable data before running SQL scripts to return login information back for your system.
·Avoid open source applications like word press, Movable Type and MediaWiki if you can. These applications are open source and thus hackers can always come up with a good guess as to where the login screens are.
