Why Is My Website Redirecting to a Malicious Site?
If your website suddenly begins forwarding visitors to another site that contains malware or suspicious content — and you did not make any changes — your site may have been compromised through a SQL injection attack.
SQL injection allows attackers to insert harmful code into your database, often modifying stored content such as links, scripts, or page text, which can cause unwanted redirects.
What Is SQL Injection?
SQL injection is a technique used by attackers to manipulate your database by exploiting insecure input fields. This can result in malicious redirects, defaced pages, or stolen data.
