This has been a long time secret concern of mine. WordPress is such a popular platform and everyone (including yours truly) is using it as a content management system in addition to blogs. It is only a matter of time it becomes vulnerable to all kinds of attack – just like Windows.
Guess I’m not that paranoid because there has been quite a bit of hacking going on this year. As if that’s not enough, if you’re not careful, there are some really, really bad themes out there that steal your traffic and have hidden code in too.
What can you do? Well for one, if you are using free themes, check them if they are clean before using. If you don’t know if they are clean, ask someone who knows to check them out. By the way, did you know, I have some free themes too? Here’s one. I’ll post two more later this week. Keep your eyes peeled.
Another note, is to secure your WordPress. Check out these tools and info:
