Your Website Can Be Attacked Even If You Don't Sell Anything Online

A website doesn't need to process payments to be attractive to attackers — it can be compromised to distribute malware, host phishing pages, manipulate search rankings, steal information or damage a company's reputation.

A small business website should still be treated as a business asset that needs protection, regardless of whether it processes transactions directly, since a compromised site can damage trust even without financial theft.
