SiteLock & Tsunami Alerts
After the terrible destruction and painful aftermath of Tsunami in Asia, many countries including Malaysia are now taking all the necessary steps to prevent the destruction of Tsunami.
Humans cannot prevent Tsunami from happening, but we can always do our part by taking important precautions when signs of imminent Tsunami are present.
For example, when Indonesia experiences earthquake, Malaysia will issue an alert / warning to all Malaysians that a Tsunami is imminent so that everyone stays away from the seaside.
Unfortunately, alerts are sometimes ignored by a small number of people who fail to take precaution for their own safety.
Come to think of that, SiteLock is rather similar to Tsunami alerts in many ways.
Just like the alerts for Tsunami, SiteLock warns website owners about the vulnerabilities on their websites so that they can take actions to prevent the destruction such as hacking or other malicious attacks.
Some similarities between SiteLock and Tsunami alerts:
