Dynamic websites - But not me, right?

  • But I am not a bank do I need to worry?
    • Yes! Botnets/hackers want control as many machines as possible
    • Allowing them to perform larger distributed attacks
  • Examples from personal experience with server security:
    • My first Linux server
      • SSH brute-force attacks in the logs
    • Several successful SSH brute-force attacks on CC cloud VMs
    • A Drupal site I helped administer was hacked
      (and then rebuilt from backups)
  • Are their alternatives to dynamic websites?
