What threats do viruses pose to website owners?
The most important threat is the complete or partial loss of functionality of your project. Imagine that you open your own page and instead of the expected content you see only a white screen or you are automatically redirected to a suspicious resource.
Other possible consequences of a virus attack on a website include:
- displaying third-party advertising;
- violation of the correctness of the layout display;
- data loss;
- connecting an alternative payment system.
The latter case is especially undesirable, because when making payments, the money will end up with the scammers instead of the seller. This will not only lead to financial losses, but may also cause conflicts with customers.
In addition, a "black mark" from Google with the warning "this site may threaten the security of your computer" is an extremely unfavorable signal for potential visitors.
Thus, for businesses, such threats result in two key losses: the cost of restoring the site and lost revenue during downtime.
How dangerous are viruses on the website?
In addition to the difficulties and errors described above, viruses create the following problems for website owners:
- Complete or partial loss of access to a resource.
- Inability to place orders, send applications, or perform other targeted actions.
- Removing a site from search results.
- Loss of user trust.
- Sanctions for sending spam.
- Decrease in domain authority.
- Decrease in traffic and conversions.
In the event of a leak of confidential information, there are possible reputational risks for the company. In the case of an online store, there will be a loss of income. When sanctions are imposed for sending spam, efforts will be required to restore the site's position.
