You may have seen news about a security vulnerability (a security flaw dubbed php2shell) affecting websites around the world, and wondered if your Rocketspark website is safe. The short answer: yes, your website is safe. You don’t need to do anything.
Is my website safe?
Yes. Your website, Dashboard and content were protected without you needing to lift a finger.
Why you didn’t need to do anything
When you build your website with Rocketspark, we look after the technology behind it for you. That includes:
- Hosting: we run and maintain the systems your website lives on.
- Security updates: we keep an eye on security news and apply fixes as soon as they’re available, often before most people have even heard about the issue.
- Ongoing maintenance: there are no plugins, add-ons or software updates for you to install or keep track of.
Some platforms leave updates like this to the website owner, which can mean scrambling to patch things or taking your website offline. With Rocketspark, that’s handled for you, so you can focus on running your business.
