Secure Your WordPress Website Ebook is Released

There was a time when I hardly ever thought about securing my WordPress websites against hackers. I lived in a cocoon of denial padded by the belief that my little wine blog contained nothing anyone would want to steal. No state secrets, no credit card information. I knew hackers were out there, but I believed they just hit bank and retail sites.

Then, I learned about brute force attacks and how hackers will use bots to bang on your login door until it breaks down. I found out that they weren’t motivated by stealing data as much as injecting malware to turn my site into a zombie to spread malware to my visitor’s computers and sites.

That was the end of my age of ignorance.

In the last few years, this site, BlogsiteStudio.com, has been hacked a couple of times. The first was due to a vulnerability in a plugin. The second was the result of a phishing attack that I fell for because of the coincidental timing related to another issue I was having on my server. Cleaning up the messes they left was a harrowing and infuriating experience, and a huge drain on time, not to mention expensive.

I’ve seen how other sites get hacked, possibly because of their unchanged “Admin” usernames, outdated versions of WordPress, plugin vulnerabilities – who knows what all. Cleaning them up was painful, especially when a current backup was not available and caused a loss of data.

Then, there is the scraping of email addresses, inadvertently left in the site’s content, which leads to a proliferation of spam coming to that email’s inbox. I’ve seen that happen too.

Just look at what happened in the United States last year when the Democratic National Committee was hacked after a simple email phishing scheme!

I tell you, it’s a bot-eat-bot world out there and you can no longer trust your little content site to remain safe. You have to take precautions to insure the security of your website.
