Watch us turn a "Sitting Duck" website into a digital fortress.
Tracking 72 hours of global attacks on a small business site.
Most small business owners believe they aren't a target. "Why would a hacker care about a local accountant?" they ask.
The truth is, hackers aren't looking for *you*—their bots are looking for *holes*. We proved this by setting up a fresh WordPress site for a mock firm, "Alex Accounting," and leaving it unhardened for just 24 hours.
Within minutes of going live, global botnets discovered the site. They didn't even look at the homepage; they went straight for the "back door." In the first few hours, we recorded over 400 attempts to hijack the server.
To protect Alex, we didn't just install a plugin. We re-engineered the server. We installed an Active Deterrence System—a bouncer that watches the door 24/7. If a bot tries to cashed the joint or guess a password, the bouncer doesn't just say "No"—it throws them out and bans their entire network at the server level.
• Scanners can see your technical blueprints.
• Passwords can be guessed millions of times.
• One outdated plugin leads to a total wipe.
• Total Obscurity: Bots find nothing to scan.
• Active Tripwires: Immediate IP bans for intruders.
• Real-time SOC alerts sent to our team.
The most chilling discovery was a "Slow-Burn" bot from South Africa. It didn't attack all at once. It tried once on Monday, once on Wednesday, and once on Friday. It was trying to stay quiet. But because we set Digital Tripwires, our system recognized the pattern and executed a 1-year permanent ban the moment it touched a forbidden file.
The result? Alex Accounting is now invisible to the bad guys. While they hammer other vulnerable sites, they hit a brick wall here and move on.
We can run a 24-hour Forensic Audit on your current site to show you exactly who is knocking on your door.
