WordPress? About 90 percent of all hacked content management systems (CMS) according to the researchers by Sucuri in 2018, were WordPress websites.
In second, third and fourth place were the web applications Magento (4,6%), Joomla (4,3%) and Drupal (3,7%), according to report published yesterday by the company.
Sucuri experts reported that most of the hacks were on vulnerabilities των plugins, των themes, λάθη στις ρυθμίσεις αλλά και την μη αναβάθμιση από τους webmasters, οι οποίοι συχνά ξεχνούν να ενημερώσουν το CMS, τα themeand their plugins.
According to the company, 90% of all hacked sites used WordPress, and most of them were running updates, with only 36% of them using older versions.
"Attackers seem to be showing a lot of interest in e-commerce sites with valuable customer data (ie credit card and user information). It is imperative that the owners of these sites update their software immediately. ”
Do you use WordPress? Remove all unnecessary plugins and use a trusted theme. At iGuRu.gr we use the Genesis Framework, and as few plugins as possible, always up to date.
It is also important to use a reliable hosting service, as well as the settings security that you are using.
Please note that Sucuri's 90% is not indicative of the security provided by WordPress CMS, as the company is mostly concerned with the security of this platform.
