Did you know that WordPress plugins are a major vulnerability for your website? In the past year alone, there have been over 3000 vulnerabilities in WordPress plugins. These vulnerabilities can result in lost site data and even having your site hacked.
If your site has been hacked already, do not worry as we have a hack repair service for WordPress.
The first step is identifying which WordPress plugin might be vulnerable – there’s no sense in upgrading one plugin while leaving another one
iThemes Security recently released their WordPress Vulnerability Report for September 2021.
In if they list 39 plug-ins that need to be updated urgently. If your site is running any of these plug-ins your data is most likely at risk.
Please note that patches are not available for two of the plug-ins so deleting them until a patch is available is strongly advised.
