This June, we introduced a weeklong social campaign called #NoHacked. The goals for #NoHacked are
to bring awareness to hacking attacks and offer tips on how to keep your sites safe from hackers.
We held the campaign in 11 languages on multiple channels including
Google+,
Twitter and
Weibo. About 1 million people
viewed our tips and hundreds of users used the hashtag #NoHacked to spread awareness and to share
their own tips. Check them out below!
Posts we shared during the campaign:
Some of the many tips shared by users across the globe:

Hacking is still a surprisingly common issue around the world so we highly encourage all
webmasters to follow these useful tips. You can continue using the hashtag #NoHacked to share your
own tips or experiences around hacking prevention and awareness. Thanks for supporting the

And in the unfortunate event that your site gets hacked, we’ll help you toward a speedy and
thorough recovery:
