As of this year, there are over ten million websites on the internet, and about 26% of these are WordPress. As this open source content management system continues to gain popularity, these sites will continue to be hacked by unscrupulous individuals’ malicious intentions. WordPress security cannot be overemphasized.
Once hackers intercept passwords to log into a website, they create havoc. One of the most important things that you can do is to make a strong password for you site so that it is very secure and difficult to guess. One attribute of the WordPress login is that it will automatically lock up after three unsuccessful login attempts.
Unfortunately, hackers have the capabilities with malicious software to break through and infect your site with viruses, and worms which have the ability to self-replicate, thus spreading copies of themselves throughout the site. One beneficial action is to host your site on a reputable web hosting service because it affects the security of your website. Avoid using free hosting accounts which are a less secure connection. By implementing a few security measures, you will make it more difficult for hackers to invade your website.
