  • Forum: Fixing WordPress
    In reply to: Hacked.

    hi
    my site has also been hacked at least 5 times – each time the mysql database has either been deleted or changed. i am using the latest wordpress and have repeatedly changed my user name and passord a number of times.

    i reported the issue to my host (startlogic.com – they are quite big with over 80 000 customers) and this is what they say:

    Your php application is leaving an open
    door for hackers to enter the site
    since some of your files are set
    to the required 777 permissions.

    You can try researching a more secure
    blog application or one that does not
    required permissions above 700.

    appreciate any help as i really would like to keep wordpress but obviously need to secure it to prevent hacking

    thanks
