What is insecure about WordPress?
If you minimize your reliance on plugins, enable automatic updates, and harden your installation, it's pretty secure. At least I haven't had issues.
Anything can be insecure if it's misconfigured, not just WordPress.
- ayrx 9y agoWordPress has a history of almost embarrassing security vulnerabilities. To be fair, most PHP applications of that era have similar track records. The newer versions have been _much_ better.

At least I haven't had issues. My guess is that it was long too easy to not do any of those things, so it gained a reputation for being insecure. They might have mitigated a lot of the problems, but bad reputations die hard.
