Case Study: Bucking Stock Talk Magazine achieves restored online presence and 50% subscriber growth with SiteLock SMART

SiteLock Helps Publication Increase Online Presence After Malware Attack

SiteLock, a Sucuri company, was called in after publisher Terry Lidral’s online magazine buckingstocktalk.com stopped receiving traffic and subscribers when Google flagged it with a “This Site May Be Hacked” warning. The blacklist stemmed from a malware infection that put visitor data at risk and threatened removal from Google’s index, prompting her host to connect her with SiteLock’s Website Security Consultant.

SiteLock installed SiteLock SMART, a daily scanner that automatically detects and removes known malware; the consultant configured it and the malware was gone within two hours, with the blacklist warning removed. SMART now scans 14,700 files daily, giving Terry peace of mind and restoring visitor confidence—resulting in a 50% increase in subscribers and higher traffic and page views.
