The risk of website hijacking and website defacement has been on the rise in the past few years. A hijacked website can be used to steal your customers credentials, conduct fraudulent transactions, or simply be used as an act designed to embarrass you. Unlike DNS poisoning with which traffic is directed to a malicious site, website hijacking takes control of your site by modifying web page content or inserting traps. One effective way to detect such violation is to check the content of a number of selected web pages. Suggested pages for this service include non-dynamic but critical pages within your site, including the home page, shopping cart, contact us and about us pages. Another is to validate your IP Address on your DNS server. We conduct a series of Content, Edit, DNS, Ping and Fetch tests every hour to address this.
