I agree that security is very important. And if we give hackers an opportunity to attack us, we can’t blame someone else for our laziness. I think that updating every program is essencial, also WordPress.

Excellent advice. Updating is a pain, but this post reveals exactly why it is so important.

This just shows how important it is, not only to upgrade your software such as Wordpress, but also your server & system software. And also how important it is to take backup (and be able to do a rollback – why take backup, if you can’t easily get the information back?).

As far as I think about WordPress very safe, it is almost impossible to avoid all possible threats in internet. There will be always someone that just want to mess with you for fun, and there will always be someone that allow him specific knowledge or application. We live in an open world and with world wide web everyone can meed anyone.

They “just” gain access to your admin section.

That is the worst part about updating for me, most of my plugins have either errors or simply don’t work anymore. Argh, I guess you just have to update to protect yourself though.

Does the hacker gain FTP access or just access to the admin section?

This has always been my concern. A new version WP comes out, you upgrade, but wait…now you have 15+ plugins that could possibly cause a vulnerability issue because v2.8.4.5.15.5.165 has been released. Now some of those plugins don’t work well with the new release because they require an update.

What are folks using these days to back up their WP database that’s quick and easy?
