If you have a website today that is running on off-the-shelf software, you've most likely experienced the phone call. The call from a customer, or your administrator, telling you that your website has been hacked. "Who did this to me!?" you ask. "Why me?" The simple answer is, the vast majority of the time, it was an automated system looking to take advantage of you.
Off-the-shelf systems have become targets by hackers for the sole reason of scale. Automated systems look to inject code to take control of your site for one reason or another. A common reason is so they can send spam emails from your server instead of theirs.
WPScan's vulnerability database lists over 4,500 different active hacks to WordPress and its plugins. Four thousand five hundred! Yet, it's the most prevalent open-source system out there today.
There Is A Better Way
Imagine a world where your CMS platform can float under the radar. Where you can sleep easy knowing automated bots can’t affect you. And, imagine the base install lasting 5 or more years. This is the peace of mind that a custom CMS solution will offer you.
