Wordpress Security Concerns
by Don Fosen on Dec.01, 2009, under Security Updates
Clear Belief Systems has a customer who has come to us because their WordPress blog had been hacked into and was being used to distribute viruses and compromise secure information. We managed to get the blog cleaned up but it is a lesson for all us running WordPress. WordPress is something that has to be supported and frequently monitored and updated. The compromised installation was only 1 version behind but in that version was an important security update.
If you currently have a WordPress based blog please be sure to keep up with the latest releases. There are also several security plug-ins that are worthwhile to install.
Check out the official WordPress security related plugins
As always, if you need support you can contact us through our Web site at ClearBelief.com
