June 2020, the announced end of Magento 1 is here

Since Adobe’s announcement to end support for Magento 1 in June 2020, hundreds of thousand of companies and webmasters built on Magento 1 will wonder what will happen now and what will happen to their online business without company support. Is it time to migrate to Magento 2?
Do not panic! Your eCommerce will not be closed overnight, but you may start to be at serious risk of limitations. While the end of life for Magento 1 won’t have an immediate effect on June 30, there are long-term effects to be aware of if you don’t upgrade your online store to Magento 2.
The maintenance of Magento 1 ensures a safe sales process and the necessary patches for the proper functioning of the websites. Focusing on security, throughout the life of Magento 1, its creators have been implementing innumerable patches that nullified the discovered vulnerabilities. Therefore, if the stacks are not found in the new versions, the data of your clients or those of your company themselves may be at the mercy of any hacker, who finds new vulnerabilities in Magento 1 or its extensions.

Monitor the security of your eCommerce
