Take these 3 steps to secure your wordpress installation. 1. Secure your /wp-admin/ directory. 2. Make an empty wp-content/plugins/index.html file. Otherwise you leak information on which plug-ins you run. If someone wanted to hack your blog, they might be able to do it by discovering that you run an out-of-date plugin on your blog and then they could exploit that. 3. Subscribe to the WordPress Development blog at http://wordpress.org/development/feed/ . When WordPress patches a security hole or releases a new version, they announce it on that blog. 4. Install the plugin 'WP Security Scan" I think if you do all of these, you got nothing to worry about.
