Please use $table_prefix for tables

Why do you need it?

Hi Gregory,

Thanks for your kind reply. A common use-case for table_prefix is to use the same database for multiple wordpress sites. Currently all sites would use the same cerber tables.

A website has to reside in its own database. Using a single shared database is a bad approach because you have an insecure configuration. If a bad actor gets access to one website, their get access to all website. What a bonus! If one website is infected with a malware, other websites will be infected too. If you lost your database, you lost all the databases. If you recover your database, you return all the websites tho the previous state.

Hi Gregory,

Thank you for your kind reply. We are aware of the pros and cons.

My intention was to inform the WP Cerber developers. I would be super happy if $table_prefix could be supported sometime, and it’s also fine to discard the idea.

Thanks for your work!
