I keep being told to grow up and come and play with the big boys & girls and start developing my sites with wordpress (self hosting) - I currently use Frontpage. DO NOT BOO ME! lol BUT I read almost daily about the wordpress sites being hacked. How do I stop that from happening to my wordpres developed sites? Ty
frontpage sites can be hacked as easily as wp sites, the most common hack is the iframer, open directories and dropping in a htaccess file incorrect permissions allow anyone to hack any site regardless of wp or frontpage the biggest downfall of any wp sites is that nearly all themes carry the wp version so if your site has not been upgraded for sometime a hacker comes along and sees that it is version 3.x.xx then then know all the security flaws in that version and can hack it similiarly people using ecommerce platforms where the latest security patches have not been applied are also vulnerable follow good security protocols and u should be fine there are plenty of plugins to secure your site cheers dickieknee
