Why was I hacked?

 In

Hackers, or other people with malicious intentions, often discover vulnerabilities in the code and will attempt to take advantage of this. Most attacks are not pointed at a specific website or organisation, but are done through automated scripts scanning the Internet for sites that might be suitable candidates for an exploit. When these scripts detect software with a vulnerability, an automated script is executed that installs malicious software on that website (for instance phishing pages or spam mailing software). In most cases no human action is even needed throughout this process. Keeping your software updated and having security measures in place will protect you from that.
