In second, third and fourth place were Magento web applications (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 in plugins, themes, errors in settings but also the non-updating of webmasters, who often forget to update their CMS, themes and 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.

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 one servicehosting, as well as the security settings you use.
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.
