> 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.
