Attackers rarely target you personally; most attacks are automated scans for any site with a known weakness. The good news is that most of these gaps close with simple steps.
The eight steps
- Keep WordPress, themes and plugins updated.
- Delete plugins and themes you do not use.
- Never use "admin" as a username, and use long unique passwords.
- Turn on two-factor authentication for administrators.
- Install SSL so the site runs on https.
- Take automatic backups stored off the server.
- Never install "free" copies of paid plugins from unknown sources.
- Give each user the lowest role they need.
