Consequences
What happens when a weakness is exploited.
Three situations companies run into most often.
01 · INVOICE FRAUDFake invoices in your name
If your domain isn't protected against forged email, a fraudster can send your clients an invoice that looks exactly like yours.

02 · PERSONAL DATACustomer data leak
An exposed admin area or an outdated plugin can give access to your customers' data. This must be reported to the Data Protection Inspectorate within 72 hours.
Consequence: risk of fines, a duty to notify, and lost customer trust.
03 · DOWNTIMEWebshop or booking goes down
If orders, bookings or customer accounts run online, every hour of downtime costs sales directly.
