How to Protect Your Wordpress Website & Visitors from Hackers with the Wordfence Plugin

 Every website is vulnerable to hacker attacks No matter the size or subject matter that means you need to be prepared for it because the likelihood is real and the vulnerability is not just yours but your visitors as well hi it's dev auger back to help you through good times and bad hackers count on the fact that people use crazy simple passwords making it easy for them to hack into websites 

Wordpress Security Plugin 

so as it scrolls by check out this mashable article as i wrap this up type the title into google to find the page and read it luckily for us that is if your website is using wordpress we have the good guys on our side white hat hackers these are pros and cyber security like the ones who developed wordpress security plugin for wordpress i've covered that plugin before in my tutorials but if you don't have it installed on your site simply use a search function in your wordpress plugin area and install it it works out of the box with a few simple acknowledgements no configuration is necessary and the free version is well equipped to keep hackers out 

so why are hackers interested in every single website they can get their grubby little hands on let's talk about why even small websites are targets there are at least 10 types of hackers but basically they range from good guys to wannabes to the danger zone of bad guys with bad intentions but you are right about one thing they really aren't all that interested in downing your website or messing it up what they are interested in is how they can use your website for their own gain which is why so many are interested in being bad guys online lots of money 

DON'T CLICK ANY LINKS (SPAM)



so what do they do from inside your website again there are ranges of activities from using the power of your host to send millions of spam and phishing emails out into the world to injecting viruses into the browsers of every person who visits your website very bad and that's a huge reason to do something about it such as install wordpress

 if you don't do anything and a hacker can do anything they want you put all your visitors and your cell at risk sometimes visitors will leave your website not knowing anything happened only to find that all of a sudden no matter where they go online they keep getting these very annoying and often disgusting pop-up ads continually somewhere to sell things like black market pharmaceuticals or porn or to set a ransomware trap 

 Eight characters which hackers can usually break


i'm sure you wouldn't want that to happen and one way to reassure them that you're doing all you can to protect them is to buy your ssl certificate and install it so that there's that little lock up there in the top of the address bar people can trust that other than using wordpens and ssl use strong passwords at least more than eight characters which hackers can usually break in about two hours even when it's alphanumeric with symbols mixed

 in this process is mostly automated though they aren't sitting there trying to go through passwords one at a time so now that you know why hackers are interested in your website protect it and your visitors sorry to give you this bad news i hope that the good news came across which is you can protect yourself and your visitors because it's my mission to help you
