I’m doubtful that I’ll cover every Wordpress security trick within this guide. There’s simply too many options available. What I can do though is provide you with some fundamentals that can then be applied towards your own efforts in securing your blog.
Unpredictability
Hackers thrive on predictability. They predict that many peoples passwords are in fact “password”, or that their username is probably their real name or some default value such as “admin”. Be unpredictable.
Common sense
Use complex passwords. Don’t submit sensitive information to dodgy sites. Scan your computer for viruses (or just use a Mac). The common sense side of things may be dull and unsexy but it works (otherwise it wouldn’t be common sense).
Prevent
Put security measures in place today, so you don’t need to worry about fixing anything tomorrow.
…and Cure
But no security system is perfect, so make sure you have a comprehensive backup system in place in case you need to recover.
Simplify
Have less to secure. Delete unnecessary online accounts, and share as little data as you can via social networks.
