In an era where everyone has short attention spans, software generally comes with a small shelf-life; however, WordPress survived and stayed on top for the past ten years! No wonder, it powers almost 20% of all websites available now. Now here are some facts and reasons as per a recent study you just can’t overlook, as hackers do their best to take advantage and exploit this lucrative popular platform.

• Almost 30% of WordPress websites are hacked because of an out-dated theme;


• Approximately 40% of WordPress websites are exploited due to unsafe hosting;


• More than 20% of WordPress sites are hacked due to old plugins;


• And nearly 10% of WordPress websites are exploited because of the usage of unsafe passwords.

The whole responsibility of security of these sites relies upon the hands of the site owners and WP developers.
