“Updating plugins, the WordPress Core and Themes must be a routine task for any WordPress administrator to ensure the known vulnerabilities are patched.”
– Attacking WordPress
Update What?
You know, those plugins, themes and the WordPress core. They’re constantly needing to be updated with new features and security releases. Wait – “security releases”? Does that mean your website is not secure without updating it?
YES.
Over 30,000 websites get hacked everyday. Hackers specifically look for websites with outdated plugins, themes and WordPress core versions that have known vulnerabilities (almost 8,000) to make it easy for them to hack into your website and use it for their own purposes.
If your website is hacked, viruses can be installed on your visitors’ computers, redirects to other websites can be made and your website can be used to attack other websites. Hacker’s technology gets more advanced everyday, especially through automated methods. These hackers take advantage of vulnerabilities in sites such as insecure passwords, use of abandoned or outdated plugins and using outdated software. Don’t make it easy for hackers to break into your website.
But if you’re not in your WordPress admin panel on a frequent and regular basis, that’s a lot of work and attention away from what you want to be doing or otherwise need to be doing. That’s WHY we created this service, and have been providing it to clients for years!
