We switched to Better WP security about a year ago, because it has about 2 dozen features that secure wordpress doesn’t (and it’s more frequently updated).

Hackers can also get in via bad code, so make sure that all of your plugins are trustworthy. And finally, keep your WP installation up-to-date.

And yes, hackers are always one step ahead, so its good to take all possible precautions, even when the blog software is up to date.

Thanks for visiting. :-)

I heard rough stories about sites being hacked. Not fun, but I find that if people keep updated they shouldn’t run into many issues. However, the areas mentioned in this post are helpful. I’m never heard of the plugin Secure wordpress? Thanks I’m checking it out now. I’ll stumble, review and bookmark. Extremely useful. :)
