How to Hide Your Resource

From Hacker Attack

An Overview

WordPress popularity comes with a cost! The

cost of immense malware attacks, website

hacking, security breaching, and much more.

The Internet is full of the WP security facts &

stats such as Wordfence says, “The number of

per minute WP cyber attacks is 90,000. Where

52% are from plugins, 37% from core files, and

11 from themes.” Well, as WordPress Malware

Removal Services, at least we can relate to this

data, as per website security queries.

Yes, WordPress is secure as long as

publishers take it seriously and update the site

and follow other WP security practices as

well. As we quoted beforehand, they can

attack WordPress through core, plugins, and

files.

Other than that, if your site does not have a

strong password and you do not keep

monitoring your site security, it can be

vulnerable.

How Secure is

WordPress?

Key Points

Site security can take a nasty turn if you do not

update your site core. So make sure you keep

updating it after each WP update. Apart from that,

build a strong password, add 2FA, scan the site,

enable SSL, connect with secure hosting.

Core Security

Just like the heart of WP security (core), most of

the other parts are plugins and themes. However,

over 50% of the time, they become the reason for

website vulnerability. To assure you, buy or

download them from a reputable source such as

the WordPress Plugin Directory, and check for

updates.

Plugin Security

Make sure you just not install a theme just by look,

but meet WP core standards. And of course, as we

said before, please update it regularly.

Theme Security

Types of

WordPress

Attacks

Code Injections

Injecting malicious code to your site database

call code injections.

Spam AttacksThe most common website attack done to slow

down a website by overwhelming the database

and immense spam comments.

Brutal Force Attacks

Hack bots or automate hacking software look

for website weakness that could be any such as

a weak site password.

Tips To Protect aWordPress Site

Updates are the improvements of

particular software or versions. It can be

for any reason such as security, features

added, or much more.

So when your website demands updates,

make sure you are on the most updated

version. Not only the core, but the

themes and plugins ensure you update

everything.

Up-to-Date

WordPress Version

& Plugin #1:

Backups save from painful work repetition. And

in the case of website backup, they help in

hacker attacks too. For this, you can either

install a backup plugin or can create a manual

backup system.

If you have backups of your WP files and

database, you can restore your website to the

latest version just in case.

Website Backup #2:

Custom Login URL

and IP Whitelist #3:

WordPress log URL is the same for

every WP website and known to

everyone (of course hackers’ too). In

such a case, it is kid’s stuff to decode

website logins.

However, if you customize it with

something else rather than /wp-admin,

it's tough to guess, and the same goes

with System IP.

Admin

Credentials

#4:

After talking about login URL, not

talking about credentials stuffing is a

critical lack. In 2019, over 40% of

hacks were due to compromised

credentials. Also, we like to clear the

fact that it's not only about passwords

but username, as most of the users

still use default admin as user name.

Security is a broad matter that needs

surveillance. In such wise, hire WordPress

support and maintenance services, as they will

not only improve your site performance but

monitor regular updates, backups and security

alerts.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, it's your website, and the

profit or loss or hack will directly affect you. We

could just suggest the best possible security

ways & practices for your site but the final

decision is yours, so choose wisely.
