Secure Your WordPress Blog Before Hackers Attack

I can’t believe that two of my blogs were hacked. They weren’t even blogs I make money with, just a couple of blogs that I share thought through. I hope they got a great sense of satisfaction teaching me a lesson.

I guess I was one of those people, even though I have a fair bit of online experience, who just figured they wouldn’t go after a blog that wasn’t important but I guessed wrong. Many others with Internet experience of all levels have worked to make sure that their websites, web service accounts and browsers were as safe as they could be from computer hackers.

The weakness discovered by the hackers is the WordPress Blog. Many may never believe their blog worthy of the attention of a hacker, but with advertising and marketing dollar potential rising, the hacker will likely hunt you as a victim.

The hacker attacks on WordPress Blogs take the person who wants to come to a particular blog to a different site that’s full of ads, many of them obscene and many of them virus filled, which obviously does not present what was the assumed landing point blog in the best light. In fact, one hacker attack, no matter how quickly it’s spotted and dealt with, can destroy all the work that the owner of that blog has done. You may have spent years building your blog’s reputation, and just one vulnerability discovered by a hacker can transform your years of work into a worthless mess.

The attacks launched on WordPress Blogs by hackers get even worse for the blog owners. Google, for example, when (not if) their robots detect something suspicious about a WordPress Blog will include the following in the search result for that WordPress Blog.

“This site may harm your computer.”

If a person clicks on that phrase, which appears as a link within the search result listing, they will be taken to a page that will repeat the warning of harm to their computer and suggest that they go to another site or blog that came up in their search results.

Even if a WordPress Blog owner catches the damage quickly, the time it will take to repair that blog’s reputation will be costly at a variety of levels. People will remember the warnings of computer harm no matter how strongly it’s presented that all with that WordPress Blog is well. A loss of blog traffic will mean a loss of ad revenue. In many cases this could mean the loss of advertisers since many affiliate ad programs require a specific level of traffic activity.

WordPress Blog owners make the mistake of thinking that since the warning signs that their blog has been hacked are so obvious that they’ll be able to catch the problem before it becomes a major disaster. They would have to take action and keep track of their Wordpress Blog every single minute. Only five minutes under the control of a hacker can destroy the connection that a WordPress Blog has made with every single person who visits the site at that point.

While WordPress does the best they can with security updates, that’s still just a reactive option for the WordPress blog owner. One proactive step on your WordPress Blog is all that is needed to prevent a hacker from destroying your work and reputation.

Internet developer and expert James Stein, with 15 years experience in the development of programs that assist and educate people, has created WordPress Secured. Instead of one plug-in fix after another, WordPress Secured brings total security to every WordPress Blog that anyone can learn and benefit from.
