Prevent WordPress Website Hacking

22% comes from the use of unsafe or outdated plugins

  1. Keep your plugins up to date
  2. Delete deactivated plugins
  3. Be careful where you get your plugins. If you download them from WordPress.org, you can see if they have a good credit rating and when they were last updated, but if you download it from another website, you do not know this
