OnMyWordPress; 7th WordPress Security Scan

wpsecurityLast time I told you about “one of my sites being hacked”….
In that article I also told you how I was able to make this “iframe hack” disappear.

But how to make sure this is not going to happen (again)…??
(pls note; your back up is the most important one – as these security tips are not 100% proof !)

1. I got the WP Secury Scan plugin – this plugin is testing your security and gives several tips about “changing stuff”…. the most important ones;

  • latest WordPress installation
  • change the table prefix – should not be wp_
  • hide your WordPress version
  • no user “admin”

2. check their tips on how to change your user name and prefix – overhere

The website about WP Security Scan;

Scans your WordPress installation for security vulnerabilities and suggests corrective actions.

-passwords
-file permissions

    Did not need to install a plugin and it found a rogue iframe in my theme.
