Many people saying: “I created small site, surely nobody will want to hack it”. And this is 100% wrong. And I will explain why.

Yeah, it is true that hack into Google, Microsoft or any financial institution will be quite profitable for hackers and they are definitely trying. But it is one side of the story. Other side of the story that to do it they need computer power and millions of the computers. Hacking big company from personal computer has many limitations:

  • There is chance that other side will be able to find where you are from and then there is possibility of serious personal consequences for hacker.
  • Very often after few attempts IP address of hacker will be blocked. This block is easy to overcome but it will require time and thus reduce effectiveness of hack.
  • Trying to do it from personal computer can be quite slow and sometimes you need like millions attempts to do something.
