WordPress Security 101: Mind the Hack

“My website? Who’d want to hack that?” – If you’ve ever had this thought, you’re not alone – but you might be surprised. Welcome to “WordPress Security 101: Mind the Hack”, where we’ll challenge one of the most common misconceptions of website owners: that small or new websites are safe from cyber threats. The truth is that when it comes to WordPress hacking, everyone’s a target.

In this session, we’ll pull back the curtain on the dark world of WordPress hacking. You’ll discover why your site – yes, yours – is a tempting target for cybercriminals, regardless of its size or content.

Join us as we uncover:

  • The sneaky tactics behind brute force attacks
  • The silent threat of SQL injection
  • The cunning nature of cross-site scripting (XSS)
  • And more digital dangers lurking in the shadows

But fear not! This isn’t just a parade of digital horrors. Our main focus is arming you with a toolkit of practical, easy-to-implement security measures. Whether you’re a code-savvy developer or a WordPress newcomer, you’ll walk away with actionable steps to fortify your site immediately.
