Last year and a half educated us that WordPress security should not be taken lightly by any means. Between 15% and 20% of the planet's high traffic sites are powered by WordPress. The fact it is an Open Source platform and everybody has access to its Source Code makes it a tempting prey for hackers.
In my opinion, the best way to ensure that your that is fix malware problem is via using a WordPress backup plugin. This is a fairly inexpensive, elegant and easy to use way to be sure your website is available to you in the event of a disaster.
Strong passwords - Do what you can to use a password, alpha-numeric, with upper and lower case and special characters. Easy to remember passwords are also easy to guess!
I don't think there's a person out there that after learning how much of a problem WordPress hacking is that it's a fantastic idea. But something I've noticed through the years is that when it comes to securing their blogs, bloggers seem to be her comment is here stuck in this state.
As I (our fictitious Joe the Hacker) know, people have far too many usernames and passwords to remember. You have got Twitter, Facebook, your online banking, LinkedIn, two blog logins, FTP, web hosting, etc. accounts which all include logins and passwords you need to remember.
You do consider needing security when your website is new but you do have to protect yourself and your investment. Having a site go down and not being able to restore it quickly may mean a big loss of consumers who won't remember to look for your website later and can't find you. Do not let that happen to you. Back up your site visit this site as soon as you get navigate to this site it started, as the website is operational and schedule regular backups for as long. This way, you'll have peace and WordPress security of mind.
