We are going to teach/Educate you, how you can prevent your website/blog from being hacked. First thing first is your Password.

Passwords

Your Password is the first and important step to take in preventing your Website/blog from being hacked ,While it may be convenient for you to have a simple password such as “Password123” “Phone Number” or something similar, hackers will be able to crack such a password in five minutes on a slow day.

Email Security

Keeping your email secured is another important step to take in protecting your blog from being hacked, every blog is associated with an email, and with this email you can get easy access to your blog. If a hacker manages to get into your email account, they can pretty easily find your password and/ your username. This is in addition to the many other problems you will have to deal with when your email is hacked (such as potential identity theft).

You can also use it as a separate contact point for readers so you can more easily organize your emails. A second email address is free and easy to start, so there is no disadvantage to setting one up (other than time).

Even if you have 4 to 5 Emails, make sure they are connected to each other, (Recovery email) by so doing you can easily recover your email if hacked, and your phone number/Contact should be associated to your Email so as to get alert on every activities going on, in your Email and to stop any illegal activities before it is too late .

Public Networks

When it comes to internet security in general, public networks are your worst enemy and a hacker’s best friend. While they are useful to many people who want to browse the internet for free, most people do not know the inherent lack of security many of them have.

The biggest problem with a public network is that it is really easy for anyone to intercept your data uploaded or downloaded on the network. Think of your computer as a broadcast tower. Anyone with a receiver and the knowledge to use it can pick up the signal. Unfortunately, the receivers aren’t expensive, and they’re pretty easy for even novice hackers to use.

When your data is picked up in this manner, it can easily be used against you. Try to imagine if your passwords and usernames were just broadcast unencrypted for someone to pick up. If you log in without protection, that is what will happen. Heaven forbid you try online banking or blog-related financial transactions.

Note: Many of the threats to your computer can affect your blog as well, so you have to maintain a constant vigilance on both fronts. Know these basics and know them well.
