WordPress is a powerful and flexible platform, but its popularity also makes it a frequent target for hackers. Sites can be compromised through outdated plugins or themes, weak admin passwords, poorly coded extensions, or unsecured hosting environments. Once compromised, attackers may inject malware, redirect visitors, deface the site, or even take control of the entire server.
The good news is that most WordPress hacks are preventable. By keeping your site updated, using strong security practices, and installing a reliable security plugin, you can significantly reduce your risk.
