Why do I get hits from China on my website? If you pay attention to your website analytics, this is probably a question you’ve asked yourself at some point. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with my friends over at WBIR to discuss this phenomenon and whether or not you should be worried by this.
One quick note; as I understand it, the New York Times incident mentioned in the story was a compromise of their company’s systems and not necessarily their website. Not only is someone / something viewing your website and actually hacking it vastly different things… someone hacking into your website and hacking into your company’s computers are also vastly different things (unless of course you host your website from an on-premise server, then it turns into a game of semantics).
