We spent a good bit of time last week repairing a hacked WordPress domain, so this list of the Top 10 WordPress Security Myths definitely caught my eye today.
1. WordPress is not secure.
2. Nobody wants to hack my blog.
3. My WordPress site is 100% secure.
4. I only use themes and plugins from wordpress.org so they are secure.
5. Updating WordPress whenever I log in is cool.
6. Once my WordPress site is setup my job is finished.
7. I’ll just install xyz plugin and that’ll take care of security for me.
8. If I disable a plugin or theme, there is no risk.
9. If my site is compromised I will quickly find out.
10. My password is good enough.
