Think your small business website is too boring for hackers to care about? Think again. In this episode of Mike and Blaine, we uncover the shocking truth about why cybercriminals target small business websites—and why ignoring cybersecurity could cost you big. From stolen credit card testing and brute force logins to DDoS attacks and outdated plugins, we dive into the most common threats that quietly put small businesses at risk every single day.
We break down how hackers exploit small sites, the financial and reputational damage of even a “minor” attack, and why being a small player doesn’t make you invisible—it makes you vulnerable. You’ll hear why cyberattacks aren’t just about stealing money or data, but often about using your site as a testing ground or launching pad for bigger crimes.
The good news? Protecting your website doesn’t require a massive IT budget. Mike and Blaine share practical steps any small business owner can take to secure their site, reduce risk, and avoid becoming an easy target. It’s less about paranoia and more about smart prevention—because the last thing you want is to get punked by a bot in Belarus.
Whether you’re a startup founder, small business owner, or entrepreneur trying to keep your digital doors locked, this episode will give you the tools and awareness you need to fight back against cyber threats.
