(MENAFNEditorial) A new online guide for helping Joomla developers recover hacked websites has been released by Blue Bridge a Joomla services company.
Many website owners do not think that they are viable targets for being hacked until it is too late. John Hooley the owner of the Joomla services firm Blue Bridge is all too familiar with this problem. "Very few of the hacked Joomla sites that we''ve recovered were compromised because they were a juicy target. In most cases they were the victims of an automated attack." To help businesses recover from falling victim to one of these automated hacks Hooley wrote the online guide "How to Fix a Hacked Joomla Site." It''s a resource targeted towards web designers developers and tech savvy entrepreneurs to help them undo the damage of a successful attack.
The guide covers:
The effects of a successful hack.
Symptoms of a compromised site.
How to find hacked files and database entries.
How to check blacklists and have your site removed from them.
How to harden the site and protect it in the future.
It includes numerous examples and tools to help identify and correct problems caused by being hacked.
"When I first started out I had to recover a hacked Joomla site and there were very few resources on what to do and what to check. I had to do a lot of research and piece everything together. It was a real pain. We do lots of Joomla site recoveries these days and I thought it would be helpful to share our process with other developers so that they know how to respond to these sorts of disasters."
In 2015 the search quality team at Google reported that they had seen 180% increase in hacked sites over the previous year. In this hostile web environment Blue Bridge''s guide will be a welcome resource for Joomla developers and webmasters.
