WordPress; About 90 percent of all hacked content management systems (CMS), according to Sucuri researchers at 2018, were WordPress websites.
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's experts reported that most of the hacks were on vulnerabilities in plugins, themes, errors in settings and the lack of upgrade by webmasters, who often forget to update the CMS, the 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 trusted hosting service as well as the security settings you use.
It should be mentioned that the 90% given by Sucuri is not indicative of the security provided by the WordPress CMS, as the company is mostly concerned with the security of the specific platforms.
