On the topic of PravlageTiem, the issue of WordPress' security flaws seems to be incidental to his attempt to accuse Sam Altman of censorship. If I had to guess, that would be why the comment is dead. I wouldn't call that sarcasm.
- sean_patel 10y ago> wpengine is such an excellent choice for a lot of users. Here we go! Like I stated in my comment, companies like WP Engine, Sucuri and other can easily charge 100$ + for what costs < 5$ to host, because it's wordpress and they "guarantee" a secure un-hackable website. Fear is a great motivator.
- CPLX 10y agoAnother great motivator is that $30 or $100 is utterly trivial in the context of any website that has some actual business value and investment in its content and design. I know we're all conditioned to think web services should be nearly costless but I happily pay my WPengine bill for multiple sites every month and consider them keeping an eye on things a very good value for my fairly nominal expenditure.
- jasonbarone 10y agoEven with WPengine, security issues are a very common thing. WPengine can keep some things up to date, but plugins and themes are exploited often. Worse, an enterprise deployment at scale is a huge nightmare. Exploiting WP sites on HackerOne can be a very profitable business for many.
- XparXnoiAx 10y agoNot to mention, it doesn't matter if things are kept up to date when Wordpress takes months to issue a patch for critical security problems.
