- 12How to clean up a hacked website and fix malwareWebsite hacks manifest as random redirects, injected footer scripts, and unexpected user logouts that force owners to spend entire weekends manually scanning files and troubleshooting PHP functions at 3 AM. This demanding clean-up process stems from neglecting basic security hardening before the breach occurs, leaving sites entirely vulnerable to compromises.
- 4How to make offsite immutable backups affordable and recoverableImmutable offsite backups protect against full compromises, but keeping them affordable often results in slow, painful restores that depend entirely on internet bandwidth. This forces teams to rely on local copies for large multi-terabyte servers just to avoid crippling recovery times.
- 4What is the best long-term backup solution?Securing files for ages requires overcoming hardware obsolescence, since reading devices like Blu-ray drives will hypothetically become hard to come by over time. This makes finding a reliable solution a struggle, forcing you to either spend a lot of money upfront on an LTO-6 tape drive for large amounts of data or debate between cloud storage and external hard drives.
