Detecting Unauthorized Website Changes

In Plain English

Your WordPress website consists of thousands of files that should only change when legitimate updates or authorized modifications are made. File integrity monitoring watches for unexpected changes, while malicious code monitoring looks for files or software that shouldn’t be present.

Together, these tools help identify signs that a website may have been compromised.

Why It Matters

Detecting unauthorized changes quickly reduces the amount of time malicious code can remain active on your website. Early detection also makes investigations and recovery significantly easier.

What Could Happen Without It?

Unauthorized files or malicious code may remain unnoticed for extended periods, increasing the risk of data theft, spam, website defacement, malware distribution, or search engine warnings.
