WordPress; About 90 percent of all hacked content management systems (CMS) according to the researchers της Sucuri το 2018, ήταν websites WordPress.
In the second, third and fourth place were Magento (4,6%), Joomla (4,3%), and Drupal (3,7%) web applications, according to report published yesterday by the company.
Sucuri experts reported that most of the hacks were vulnerable to plugins, themes, configuration errors, and non-upgrades from 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.
"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 trusted hosting service 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.
