As a Magento website owner, security should be your top priority. Here are some best practices for securing your Magento website from hacks and attacks:

Keep Magento up-to-date: The latest version of Magento always includes security patches, so it's essential to keep your website updated with the newest version.

Use strong passwords: Use strong and unique passwords for your Magento admin panel, FTP, and a hosting account.

Use HTTPS: Implement HTTPS protocol to encrypt all data transmitted between the server and the client. This will ensure that all communication between the server and the client is secure.

Install security extensions: Install security extensions like MageFence, MageReport, and MageSecurity to monitor and prevent malicious activities on your website.

Backup regularly: Always keep a backup of your website. Regularly back up your website, including your database, media files, and system files, in case you need to restore them in the event of a security breach.

Scan your website regularly for malware and vulnerabilities using free tools like MageReport or paid tools like Sucuri.

Keep your server secure: Ensure it is secured by regularly updating and patching it and using firewalls and intrusion prevention systems.

Educate your employees: Educate your employees on security best practices, including phishing emails, password management, and social engineering.
