Pay Attention to Your Security! Update and Backup as needed!
v. hacked, hack·ing, hacks: To gain access to (a computer file or network) illegally or without authorization.
For business owners who have websites we always recommend that either you employ a reputable web development company to maintain your website security (keep everything updated on your cms site, for example) or keep up on all the security patches that are released for your software.
Because all software is buggy, (some more than others) as people use the software or cms, bugs and security flaws are found. Subsequently, a patch is released to let say plug the hole so that a hacker who can easily read about the security flaw won't try to hack into your site.
Be vigilant and you won't find yourself scrambling to recover years of lost work! Don't forget to back up your website weekly, or when a major update has been made!
