If you’re a reader of our blogs, or social updates, you’ll know that we, at Layer 5, are huge fans of Magento, in fact it’s our ‘go-to’ platform of choice when we propose an eCommerce solution and as such, have developed our skill set around it.
Not only do we provide a range of integration and development services, we also provide hosting solutions, built around Brightpearl’s whitepaper, so we like to keep ourselves and our serves up-to-date.
There was an article posted by Sucuri recently, detailing an eCommerce vulnerability, using a hack involving a Magento site as an example, and could be interpreted that there is a new core vulnerability being exploited to affect these hacks. See more at – Setting the Record Straight, on the Magento Blog.
We’d like to offer these few simple steps to help you keep eCommerce system protected and making money.
• Keep your Magento, like any other internet-facing software, up to date and patched.
• If you can’t do that yourself (and why would you – you should be busy selling stuff and running your business), then partner someone who can.
• Better still, buy your Magento hosting from a company that includes a patching and maintenance regime at both server level and Magento level, most hosting companies WON’T do that for you, as part of your hosting package.
