Stealing your customer information
Input fields can be a hacker's playground. Any field that asks
a visitor to enter information like their name,
address, email, login name or password can allow a hacker into
your website database, exposing all of your customer's information!
When fields aren't checked properly, hackers can insert code
that exposes everything in your database.
This is a favorite exploit for identity theft.

Defacing your website
There is no better way to scare off customers than for a
hacker to vandalize your website. Hackers can inject malicious code
into input fields, so when your visitors submit comments or
forms, derogatory messages appear.
This makes it clear that your site is not secure!

Infecting your customers
Links on your website are also a common access point for
hackers. For example, you may include a link on your site
for your customers to download product information. If the URL
is not properly checked on the server side, hackers can
inject malicious code that redirects customers to another site
and deploys spyware or malware to their computers.

Don’t be blacklisted by Google®!
Without Site Scanner, you might not even know that your website is being used to spread malicious
software. If your site is deemed "suspicious" by Google, they will "blacklist" it from their search
engine – causing you to lose traffic, customers and sales. Site Scanner works to alert you of
vulnerabilities before this can happen – and checks Google Safe Browsing daily to make sure
your website isn't on the "blacklist".
