Dear lady-pirates and gentlemen-pirates! And here it is, this very moment we’ve been going to past 2+ years! Despite the COVID epidemic, lock down and its effects on all the processes. Despite all the sh*t happening now on our blue planet… we’ve been passing through with the new generation of Virusdie in our mind. That is the better way we think we may help make the life at least of a part of humanity better. And we’ve been working hard as you all know all these years, day-by-day to build the new Virusdie with all those things our clients asked for so many times. The new, much more powerful Virusdie for small and medium-size business web-application protection is here as open pre-beta! And if you have Virusdie account you can simply jump between old and new generation of Virusdie, using navigation on top-side of your dashboard! 🙂
WordPress can be a great website platform. But it is also extremely popular, which means that hackers and malware authors target it.
WordPress is not easy to manage. To make things easier, you can use some WordPress maintenance and support services. These companies can help you maintain your WordPress website and take care of security, patches, backups and more.
If you are a serious website owner or an agency owner looking to expand your business, you have the solution out there. There are many WordPress maintenance and support services that offer white label site management.
One of the big problems that may arise for you when it comes to SEO is if your website gets infected with malware and you have no security tools/services to clean it up.
You cannot ignore the warnings if your website gets malware infection. You could be removed from search engines and your SEO rankings will take a big drop, which will lead to a big traffic loss and in consequence profit. Make sure your site is malware free by using some of the best security services that are available on the Internet.
A few days ago, I received an email from our long-time client (we built his website and redesigned it several times over the years). He wrote something like the following:
“I think someone broke into my email or website. I received this as a test. Please check it out (ASAP)!”, (and he forwarded the problematic email he received).
After we checked everything necessary (including checking his website with Virusdie), I found that no one had broken into his website (or email).
The customer had received a fake email. But he could not recognize it and his first thought was that someone had hacked him.
That’s when I realized that I need to explain the whole process of email spoofing so that you can recognize such (fake) mails, but also (and more importantly) to protect yourself from email spoofing.
Dear pirates! This spring, to scale Virusdie business, to protect it and to reduce many political risks, Elijah (CEO) and Helen (COO) made a work-trip to Tbilisi (Georgia). To establish one more international Virusdie company with this local residence in low tax zone. So the new company been established successfully. Here is the short video about that trip 🙂
Joy the trip video. Part 1: Play Video
Next step we’re going to relocate up to a half of our development crew from a number of countries – here to Georgia! Here the sun is shining. And mountains are tall. And fruits are so tasty. So looking for the new office location now. In Tbilisi or, in Baku – on a sea-coast.

Hiding/renaming your login does not do much, although you may think it is a great additional protection for your website. That is “security through obscurity” (STO), which is not really protection.
STO is primarily based on hiding important information and enforcing secrecy as the main security technique. Some people believe that by using security by obscurity, they can minimize the risk of an attack.
Dear customers.

Probably, that bug may cause a server error 500 on your websites for websites runs web-server PHP 8.1 with a combination of a specific set of other server-side software or plugins. So that may be possible not for all websites and not for all web-servers, but for web-servers runs PHP 8.1 and a number of installed additional software only.
WHAT NOW IF YOU FACED WITH ERROR 500?

The workplace was a great place for people to work remotely, but as that became more difficult, many employees were burned out. Now that work and life have merged, this burnout is even more apparent. It affects employees’ decisions and impacts the way they work. Most security experts agree that access controls are the most important aspect of an organization’s IT security strategy. However, they disagree on who should control access and why.
Companies are feeling the effects of employee burnout. More than ever, employees need to stay healthy, stay safe, and stay productive while working from home. For most of us, the job we have today is the one we will have for the rest of our careers. Understanding how the workplace is changing can help us be more successful and efficient.

Why software vulnerabilities cause security risks? Running WordPress or any other CMS (content management system) without adequate security is like owning a warehouse and leaving the key under a mat for thieves. But even with security, hacking is becoming a new reality for many Internet entrepreneurs, content publishers, and digital media retailers.
Attackers can easily access your confidential and private data after hacking your digital property. You can lose significant market share once you learn that your websites and applications have been compromised.
A WordPress plugin is an application that allows you to add new functionality to your WordPress site. Just like apps do for your smartphone.
If you are familiar with WordPress, you have probably encountered what’s called the “Repository of free WordPress plugins”. Essentially, the repository is a large digital repository of free WordPress plugins that can be installed with a few clicks through the admin interface of WordPress itself on any website that uses – WordPress.
Currently, the repository contains almost 60,000 plugins with over one billion and 240 million downloads. Each of these plugins (at least most of them) brings certain features to a WordPress website, to put it in layman’s terms – they enhance its capabilities. But are these plugins safe to use, who creates them, maintains them, and who even reviews the plugins before they appear in the official WordPress plugin repository?
The creator and co-founder of WordPress CMSÂ is Matt Mullenweg while his company Automattic Corporation owns WordPress.com. Every plugin published there goes through a manual review before it becomes publicly available.
But is everything as secure and vetted? The recent interesting incidents suggest that there are loopholes in the WordPress plugin ecosystem that can be abused to hack and infect a large number of websites. Let us see how and why.
The authors of the plugins in the free WordPress repository are people with different profiles, from all over the world, with different programming skills, with different goals and intentions. It’s a motley crew that’s hard to describe in a few sentences.
Hurray! We’re so excited to announce Virusdie plugin for WordPress websites! What is this? This is the most easiest automatic website security plugin for WordPress in the industry with highest performance in the industry! An explosion blend of simplicity and power you are all love!
