Great set of tips I stumbled; thought it was worth sharing. WordPress is such a great platform, but ubiquity makes it a target.

By far, the biggest security threat for WordPress are poorly coded and/or insecure plugins.

A lot of WordPress users love to install dozens of plugins and not keep those plugins or WordPress itself updated.

You should check your WordPress dashboard daily to ensure WordPress and all plugins are up-to-date.
