Keep your web apps up to date and close the door on hackers Anytime you add an application to your website, such as a store, blog, bulletin board, email form, or any other dynamic page or web application, you could be adding functionality that a hacker can use to gain access to your data, and possibly do damage. MacHighway recommends that you frequently check for updates and use only trusted and well scripted applications, like the ones offered through MacHighway.. For detailed information on choosing a suitable script and checking for updates, please review our knowledgebase article here. |
