BulletProof Security for EB WordPress Clients

Reading Time: < 1 minute

You may not be aware, but there have been a rash of new attacks on sites running WordPress. Recently, several sites I manage ( including my own!  😡  ) have been victims. Thankfully, nothing serious happened and no one lost any content or valuable information. In fact, I discovered the breaches and remedied the situation before anyone was aware there was even a problem. But it was a reminder for me about staying vigilant and looking for ways to further safeguard my clients’ websites. So, in addition to making some “under-the-hood” changes to all WordPress sites, I’ve also installed a special security plugin for all customers with a maintenance agreement called BulletProof Security.

BulletProof Security

Once properly installed and configured, BulletProof Security helps to protect WordPress website against XSS, RFI, CRLF, CSRF, Base64, Code Injection, and SQL Injection hacking attempts. The recent attacks were of the SQL Injection variety where the hacker tries to get into the website’s database to reek havoc. Once a hacker is in they could do anything from add viruses or code to your pages and posts to locking you out of your site or just deleting all your content. Nice guys, huh?

But you can rest easy for now and continue creating great content. BulletProof Security is shielding your site and, in addition to regular back-ups of your site files and database, I will continue to look for suspicious activity and new ways to protect your site as the hackers evolve their methods.
