• Who are the hackers and what do they want?  They
  range from geeks looking for boasting credits, to
  criminals stealing personal information for later
  sale, to businesses carrying out industrial
  espionage and spies and terrorists looking for
  classified information.
• CMS attackers tend to be geeks or outright
  criminals.

• To distribute malware, hackers seed a CMS website
  or blogging platform with malware so that
  unsuspecting users download it when visiting the
  site, and subsequently seed the other blogs and
  websites they visit. Its not just the malware
  protection software.  It is also very important
  to keep the CMS software up to date with patches
  and version upgrades to ensure that all potential
  threats are recognised and countered.

• Ransomware is a relatively new phenomenon that is
  rapidly heading to a Billion dollar a year
  turnover according to the FBI.  Basically it
  involves encoding or encrypting a users systems
  and or data. The user is asked to pay for a
  decryption key to return the data to a usable
  format.  Formerly targeted only at large
  corporate sites able to pay a large ransom to
  have their systems returned, it is now
  diversifying to smaller individual personal sites
  holding family picture and video albums.  Most
  individuals will pay out to have their precious
  memories returned to them.
