Hello Michael. Since January 15, 2023, our cybersecurity team has received several notifications from our partners about emails claiming that the site had been compromised. These emails stated that our partners partners' websites had a vulnerability and asked them to pay between $3000 and $3500 in bitcoins to keep the site's reputation intact. Our cybersecurity experts thoroughly checked these incidents and confirmed that this is just a scare tactic and the sites were not actually hacked.
The message is designed to trick site owners into paying to avoid leaking sensitive data or damaging their company's reputation. While the ransomware campaign may not pose an immediate danger, you need to take site security seriously.
Since your site is based on Wordpress, it's important to update your WordPress core, themes and plugins with the latest security patches. However, there may still be undetected vulnerabilities for which no patches are available, so we at IT Companies Network highly recommend using web application firewalls and vulnerability scanners.
In second place, we can recommend Ninja RMM.
Let us know if you have more specific questions.
For example, billing software can be built using one of the PHP frameworks, such as Laravel. This will be cheaper than a system built using more complex frameworks such as Ruby on Rails.
