WordPress security is not one plugin. It is a set of habits and technical controls that reduce risk and make recovery possible.
Common WordPress attacks
- Brute-force login attempts.
- Vulnerable plugins and themes.
- Malicious files uploaded through weak forms.
- SQL injection or stored spam links.
- Stolen passwords and abandoned admin accounts.
Basic protection steps
- Update WordPress and plugins.
- Use strong passwords and two-factor authentication.
- Remove unused plugins and themes.
- Use reliable backups.
- Monitor uptime and suspicious changes.
Security after an incident
After a hack, cleaning files is not enough. You need to find the entry point, change credentials, update the environment and check whether malware left backdoors.
