Common Security Vulnerabilities For WordPress
Websites The number one threat to web
application strategy, as recognized by Open Web
Application Security Project (OWASP) is SQL
Injection (SQLi). It is the most over-utilized
and common attack on WordPress websites that
leaves website administrators helpless. To make
you understand what SQL injection actually is, I
would say it is a type of injection attack that
makes it possible for hackers to execute
malicious SQL statements. These statements are
crafted so cleverly that it can control the
database server of the web-based applications.
Often attackers use this method to drill into
application security measures and access the
authentication of a specific application to
retrieve the content of the entire SQL database.
Using this method of cyberattack, they can also
add, modify, and delete the records saved in the
database. However, one important thing to note
here is that attackers dont only gain users
identity using SQL injection, but they also make
administrators of the site suffer economic losses
indirectly, which translates into losing users
trust. Other prevalent attacks include Common
Injection and File Inclusion where malicious
information is merged with vulnerable servers,
resulting in compromised sites. If you think
that the information on your website is too
important and losing it means losing your
business, we strongly recommend to avail website
security services from our Los Angeles web design

• How To Keep Your WordPress Website Secured?
• Stop Prioritizing The Plugins
• Though the right use of plugins makes WordPress
  so user friendly, it can also emerge as one of
  the main reasons in getting your website hacked.
  They can be easy to install but they offer a
  false sense of security as well.
• Outdated plugins are often found to be the reason
  for the file inclusion exploits where hackers
  easily gain access to your database. However you
  can avoid this hassle just by following
  responsible WordPress security steps like plugin
  maintenance and all.
• Choose A Trusted Web Host
• The most obvious and effective solution to secure
  your website is to rely on good WordPress
  website hosting companies that give priority to
  cybersecurity.
• While deciding the site address is one of the
  less-concerned matters for most users, they
  should not forget that the difference between
  http and https matters. If you exclude just
  one S from the URL, your website cant be
  fully safe and secure and you will lose
  customers trust as well.
• The S indicates that the website is secured and
  it utilizes Secure Socket Layer, or SSL to
  protect valuable information of the site. This
  small security symbol tells a user that the
  website can be trusted when it comes to sharing
  their personal or financial information.

two-third of users reported that it is one of
the most important things that they consider
while deciding to continue browsing a site or hit
the back button. So, it is crucial for you to
look for web hosts who offer SSL options either
with premium add-ons or even as a complimentary
feature with the package. It affects the numbers
of traffic to your site and the good

Invest In A VPN (Virtual Private Network) A VPN
works as a virtual system that doesnt let
hackers to succeed in their intentions and
miserably fails their attempts to access the
database. It secures both the sensitive
information that you and your visitors are
sharing on your site. The added layer of VPN
secures your website using a host of features
such as hiding identity, masking locations, and
disposing of logs. Take note that almost all
free VPN services available dont have such
features and if you want to make your website
fully secured, you must exchange a few words
