The host has a big part to play in security. Bigger international hosting companies are proactive on security. Ultimately the developer is reponsible for their own websites security but what good is it if a developer pulls all the security measures only for a hacker to gain access to the server through another website or directly through the host and mess up his website. ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Odhiambo Washington" <odhiambo@gmail.com> | To: "Skunkworks Mailing List" <skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke> | Sent: Lunes, 19 de Agosto 2013 12:14:40 | Subject: Re: [Skunkworks] Hacked Websites... | Wait a moment!
