Thread: How to Protect Wordpress Blog From Hackers

monitoring everyday and stay update

well, to be completely secure there is only one way that i know of...

PUT THE SITE OFFLINE!

j/k but serious at the same time. All you can do is follow some of the advices above, and still you'll have a chance to get hacked.

People already gave you some good advice about security plugins, follow that advice for your own good

One of my blogs just got turned into a phishing machine (C4-Parana). I tried replacing some files but that didn't do the trick. I ended up deleting and recreating the shared server account and restoring the blog from a WP-backup file (my first restore).

So I'm going to add some protection, although I won't do everything listed above. Maybe I'll just add the WP-Secure plugin for now, because I can add that to all my blogs with one stroke (I use WordPress Manager DX).

And to add to your list, never create wordpress mysql tables as wp_. Best way to see your entire WP DB go bye bye. Always use a different table prefix if possible.

Shared Hosting best or VPS hosting best for Autoblogs?

IMO, the easiest way is to simply lock down the wp-admin folder using .htaccess. Read more here -> http://www.reubenyau.com/protecting-the-wordpress-wp-admin-folder/

very nice thank you

The WP Security Scan is great because it will tell you where your blogs are vulnerable. I also use login lockdown to avoid people trying to guess my password.

Like others have said, you may not make your blog 100% safe even some of these measures will help out tremendously!

why the hackers do that?

My blog was hacked by C4Parana in order to turn the site into a phishing engine. I was alerted by someone who received a phishing email. Google had spotted it and reported the site generating the email... mine!
