Has your WordPress Blog been Hacked?
Websites, Blogs, Facebook and Twitter accounts are extremely vulnerable to getting hacked. It is not a good day when you receive a message from your Mom scolding you for the inappropriate material you are posting on Facebook. Of course, you did not do it. But this is your Mom. She has no idea. We are all still surprised she is even on Facebook.
I had a WordPress site that I had created for my parents church that was hacked by a Turkish Militant group. They had not visited their site in awhile and had not realized it. We do not know how long it had been like that.
I have no idea why they did it, but they replaced the entire site with a one page document. When you went to the site it showed the flag and played some sort of military song. It was annoying, but whatever. I removed that file and everything was fine.
The bloggers at Churchm.ag gave an extremely simple and free solution to preventing a lot of this. Much hacking occurs over public wifi. The problem is that most bloggers like to hit up these places to post and create.
Their solution? Check it out at the link below.
