WordPress powers over 43% of the internet. Because of its popularity, automated bots scan millions of sites daily looking for known vulnerabilities. But WordPress itself is remarkably secure when managed properly.
The real culprits behind breaches
- Outdated plugins: Abandoned or unpatched plugins account for over 85% of WordPress security incidents.
- Weak administrative passwords: Brute-force attacks easily guess common passwords like “Admin2024!”.
- Cheap shared hosting: Insecure shared environments where a compromised neighbour site can infect other accounts on the same box.
