Every website is a target for malware attacks. If you follow the news you will know that everything from mom n’ pop sites, educational institutions, government sites, Fortune 500 companies, even famous search engines fall victim to drive-by downloads, social engineering attacks and a myriad of badware.
The good news is that you can prevent, detect and recover from a malware attack on your site. Two friends of WOT are a good place to start.
