what host you are using?

 

Linex

 

I use Wordfence to protect my sites, and haven't had any problems. It will block logins to WordPress , and it will scan your files for malicious code.

 

Thanks
I will use it and will share my experience for all DP Members

 

There a couple of plugins you can use to help you with the security of your WordPress Blog.

Here a few I have gathered online:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/bulletproof-security/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/websitedefender-wordpress-security/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/

You also need to follow some of these:

• Don't use the typical "Admin" as a username
• Make sure your Password is very long and it contains Lower & Uppercase words, and at least one number and one symbol.

This should help you secure your WP blog!

Hope this helps!

Cheers!

 

You can use WP Security plugin to protect your WordPress blog from hackers. But that is not 100% secured. If you follow some tips you can removed all hackers from hacking of your blog. Tips are-
1. Change your WP Admin password periodically
2. Delete the "Admin" Administrator user
3. Update, upgrade all of your plugins, themes & of course WordPress
4. Strong your database user & password
5. Never post from you admin user

If you need anymore tips let me know. I have some more tips to protect a WP blog from hackers. Thanks.

You did not mention what type of hack attack you actually experienced, as it might concern the server level, not just your WordPress. Was it injected with malicious code? Or was it DDOS attacked? Did your host give you more information about the issue?

Apart from that, concerning generic cases, most advise you got here is spot on - scan and clean your personal computer, upgrade WP and its plugins, strengthen security with an appropriate plugin, keep passwords safe on an external source and change them frequently etc.

There really are numerous ways for someone to get "hacked" so its best you start by finding the core of the issue and work your way backwards

 

As for mine I use on all sites:

- Hard to crack admin password
- .htaccess password for wp-admin (a second wall for admin access is really helpful)
- limit login plugin - against servers that keep throwing logins to wp-admin

I also use services from sucuri.net - really helpful if you're a beginner and got no idea how to deal with malwares or hackers

 

Here are few useful tips on securing your wordpress

protecting your admin directory
using 2 factor authentication
using .htaccess rules to deny access to wp-config.php
restricting mysql privileges

 

An easy way to guard against people trying to brute-force login to your site is to change the filename of the login page and admin pages.
