Good day! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with SEO? I’m trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I’m not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share. Appreciate it!|

i have been using wordpress for many years. a few of my sites have been hacked before maybe because i installed woocommerce and this brought hackers. but i used it for product display only, no online payment enabled. i had to admit i took few precautions to prevent hackers.
However, i got shocked recently, 3 days ago i built a new wordpress site, a site which i want to make it a brand, so i really paid attention to security, i downloaded the latest wordpress, bought a the best seller theme on themeforest, and change admin URL, installed the highly recommend plugins out there, i mean only the famous wordpress plugins, all these from the official source. today from the Wordfence Scan dashboard, i found my site has been hacked!!! a few files were added with strange codes, a few core files were modified. imaging that it’s only a draft website which i did not modify anything. it is really a shock!

Now i have really concern and doubt about wordpress. i believe it’s not safe at all. because too many uses worldwide, and too many hackers worldwide, and to many hackers wordpress is very easy to hack. to keep it safe, you have to pay a lot of energy to maintain, and once your site is hacked you may lose everything you invested in this.

I use wordpress for my b2b websites which is no online transaction, and i also use magento for my b2c website to sell to worldwide. i have been thinking use magento for my b2b website too, it might be too heavy system for that, but for security, i think it’s much more secure than wordpress.

All above is my personal feelings according to my real experience, it’s all truth. think twice before you make decision is quite important, as once you invested your money, time, and all efforts to build something, when it crashes, the result is hard to accept.

Hey Akshat!

The reality here is that nothing is 100% secure on the internet. I’m a programmer and have many friends who are hackers, and we all agree in one thing, there is always a way around security.

My hacker friends work for Anti-Virus Companies like Norton. Such companies are always hiring hackers to hack and so they can come up with a security wall. And this is an on-going game. Hacking is actually a real profession because of this. So, we can’t really say which platform is more secure and stuff like that. From a hacking standpoint of view, the answer is none.

Just sharing my thoughts!

All you can do is try to be as secure as possible, and that’s it. The WordPress platform is okay but not the most secured. But again, there is no one who can stop a hacker when he is that good. Just saying!

Thanks for sharing this!

Best regards! 😀
