About 75 Million Websites use Wordpress!
Most of them have no idea that it is the most hacked platform in the world.
And it has NOTHING to do with them being Popular.
I’ve never heard of something being insecure just because it is popular.
1.) 3 out of 4 websites that get hacked are WordPress.
2.) 70% of the WordPress websites currently online are hack-able.
3.) Just using WordPress makes you a target for the Largest malware/hacking group in the world.
WORDPRESS Can’t do ANYTHING Without Plugins.
If any plugins are not updated and patched 3, 4, or 5 times per month, as WordPress finds exploits in their code 3, 4, and 5 times a month, then you could get hacked, even if it is a plugin that is supposed to be protecting you.
And even keeping them updated isn’t enough, as most of the updates are caused because someone has already gotten hacked and in fact, many of the plugins used to protect WordPress have been used to hack it.
Even when all the plugins were up to date.
The 5 minute install is good for nothing, not even SEO without plugins.
And each plugin makes the site load slower, and makes another way for the hacker to get in.
And the last thing you want is any custom code because then you have to hire a programmer to rewrite it 3, 4, or maybe 5 times per month. If you decide to longer keep the plugin up to date, go out of business, retire, or anything else your site becomes insecure and you may not even know about it for months, years, or until you are hacked.
