All WordPress Sites Hacked

  • I have four WordPress sites and they have all been hacked. Is the only way WordPress sites get hacked by guessing login and password?

    If I start all my sites from scratch and use 2 factor authentication on my sites will that keep it safe from hacking?

    P.S. The sites don’t use SSL.

    Carefully follow this guide. When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures and start backing up your site.

    hiphopculture, hi there.

    Nope.

    Nope.

    2FA is a good practice, but not a silver bullet to solve everything. It will virtually eliminate the malicious login hack vector. There are other vectors though. Please be sure to keep WP, themes, and plugins updated, and see the links that James kindly provided.
