heya MG, i guess we can't stop hacking. But you can consider a proactive monitoring tool which may help.

Banff Cyber is a Singapore startup in cyber security and you may like to have a look at the below link for what they can offer. This is a SaaS model so it would be easier for your friend's site.

More info will be good to get suggestions from others. I assume that you are looking at defacement only? Or do you suspect that data has been stolen? Did you check if there are other unauthorised transactions or have the log files (if any) been reviewed to assess the actual damage?

Edited to add: I think before you look at the price of a solution, you may need to know what you need first. IMHO, you need to look at value (and ROI) rather than just the actual cost. For example, is $10,000 expensive? If it is meant to protect a $100 asset, definitely yes. But if it can help protect a $10 million asset....

So that's why I am asking for more info, I am always very against the idea of just buying a product/solution and hoping that it can protect you without really knowing what you need and the threats you are facing. If need be, get some companies or experts to help assess what you need first, before spending on the actual protection. You may think it is a waste of money to spend on consultancy and assessment, but I think it is a necessary first step. As an example, spending on antivirus is not going to help you with DDOS attacks. So you need to know what to spend on wisely rather than looking at products and solutions blindly, otherwise you may end up spending more in the long term without enjoying any protection.

@KevinP ?ÿ: Unfortunately no SSL cert is used, think he want to save cost but i guess it came at a high price for that. ?ÿwhich SSL is recommended?

@KennethLee : the entire site was taken down, it was scary. when i see it myself, it's all filled with rub
