5. Your Email Broadcast Lands In spam Folders
Many times hackers send spam mails with the aid of malware from websites that they hacked. When this happens to mails from your website, email servers will blacklist your server and its IP address.
So the mails from your website land on the spam folders of your recipient. It is not a good business for you. Your recipients won’t see them, and it tarnishes your reputation.
6. Your website becomes slow, Unresponsive and sends Error messages
Malware is fond of trying to utilize resources from victims servers. You will notice when your server is slow and unresponsive. They use fake IPs and send several requests to your server, or they are trying to break into your website. These sets of activities will make your website slow and highly unresponsive.
It does not mean that when your website is slow, it is has been attacked. There are several reasons why your website can be slow and unresponsive. Things like poor image optimization, plug-in updates, and poor website optimization may result in a slow website.
So you must check your website properly

We have to be steps ahead, and this will come from the right information. It will also help us protect our work from hackers and other miscreants out there.
I am highly challenged hearing that you created a folder for my pieces of training in your Gmail box. This is a challenge to do more and create informative content.
