How do I save my store from getting hacked by any hackers?

Hi there - four of the most important things to do are:

1) secure domain/DNS protection for your domain name

2) activate 2-step authentication for your store

3) be very careful what you add to Shopify; some apps and/or themes purchased outside of Shopify can often have malicious code in them.

4) be careful who you invite to access your store; limit permissions to only items they need, if access is required.

There are of course other things you can do (like use strong/unshared passwords, etc); here is more info on the best security practices for Shopify:

Is there any shopfiy apps that can also save me from hackers? Because what if the hacker knows a strong password I suggested and takes all of my customers away or worse?! How am I supposed to solve this problem even if I did all those steps and I'm still getting hacked regardless?!

There are some apps that will protect you from content stealing, or fraudulent transactions, but nothing really to prevent back end access hacking - with the exception of 2 factor authentication. This is important.

Ideally you are the only one who has access to your store, and you have 2 factor in place, and properly setup.

Cheers.
