This is something every webmaster fears that he will see in the search results. This happened to one of the sites in our network recently and I thought I would shed some light on the impact of this on the sites search results and perhaps outline a few ways to avoid having this happen in the future.
Ways to Avoid Script Injection:
1. Dont share passwords
2. Make passwords complex - use an auto-password generator and change your password frequently.
3. Look at the source of your site on a regular basis to see if any virus has been added.
4. Close and Restrict all Forms on your website. If you have a contact us form for instance set the parameters so that a bot cant inject a script when its supposed to be a phone number.
