When a hacker tries to hack your website, it may show up in the Customer column as random, suspicious text instead of customer names. This often indicates unfiltered, harmful input from SQL or script injections, showing that data wasn’t properly sanitized. While Price and Quantity data appear normal, the corrupted customer data reveals a security vulnerability. Proper input sanitization is crucial to prevent these attacks from displaying in the admin panel.
