It works – seen it firsthand

We’ve had 3 WordPress sites hacked in the last 6 months, two of those repeatedly (stemming from the Slider Revolution vulnerability).

Without going into too much detail, we thought everything had been patched up — we did internal server malware scans, external site malware scans, installed Wordfence free version (which did help in many ways), and manually inspected the accounts for suspicious and hidden files.

Then suddenly in the last 2 weeks (after all of these other things) we started getting reports that the server was “attacking/abusing” other networks/servers. Again tried everything — more scans, etc. The VPS hosting company said these things are very difficult to track down after the fact, but suggested installing Bulletproof Security.

So we did this on the most suspect website as a trial. And guess what? The attacks stopped. It’s been 48 hours with none, and we’d have multiple reports every day for two weeks before this.

We’re now big fans — for us, the combination of Wordfence and Bulletproof Security is a winning one. They both do slightly different things (with the exception of the login protection, and we’re relying on Bulletproof for this), and do them really well. Maybe Wordfence isn’t needed with Bulletproof — not sure on that — but better safe than sorry. ??

2 thumbs way up — and definitely looking at going pro.
