But it does get an inordinate amount of attention from people looking to crack it. At least according to my server logs. So sure... if everything is locked down and up to date and no shaky plugins installed no problem. On the other hand, one careless slip up...

> On the other hand, one careless slip up... And how is it not the same for any other server side software? Most of the WP security issue is related to user not knowing what they are doing or third party plugin/theme. Wordpress vanialla itself is not anymore insecure than other popular CMS or simialar software out there. From my own personal experince from doing at least 70-80 WP installs in different configurations and have never experienced any security issues in over 10 years. Thats doesnt mean its the norm. Its just that if you are going to play with a highly customizable and powerful piece of server side software and if you dont know what you are doing then you are going to screw shit up.

  Other server side software doesn't get nearly the same number of attacks. At least according to my server logs. Plus, other server side software doesn't let button clickers get into trouble as easily.
