WordPress websites are susceptible to a wide range of
attacks including SQL injections, brute-force attacks, and unauthorized logins.
Security plugins such as WordFence and iThemes Security can improve the
security of your website by addressing common security issues such as changing
the administrator account from admin.I came across another security plugin
recently entitled Hide My WP that tackles hackers in a different manner.The
plugin was developed because most hackers and bots know where to
find important WordPress files and pages. A bot that is
designed to target WordPress websites will therefore attack any website with
WordPress files, and pass by those that do not.Just as hacking software takes
advantage of the fact that all WordPress websites are structured in the same
way, Hide My WP takes advantage of the fact that software can only target your website
if it knows your website structure. It does this by removing all evidence that
your website is powered by WordPress. This makes it very difficult for hackers
to infiltrate your website.
