Deprecated Software
Is your site vulnerable?
Software, like socks, can wear out. With socks, you toss them once they get holes in them. With Software, once it stops being updated, it becomes “deprecated” and those holes in the software can cause vulnerabilites. These flaws allow your site to becomes susceptible to brute force hacking bots. The key is to stay on top of your website maintenance and replace any themes, plugins or applications that become outdated. If you’re concerned, please give us a call and we can evaluate your site for any issues with your software.
