Alternative spin, WP is one of the most battle hardened CMS available.
Tongue in cheek, but genuinely as well, it is probably the most attacked CMS platform on the internet. That not every WP site is taken down by the automated attacks they all get means they must be doing something right.
- rectang 3y agoWhen you include plugins and themes — which is a must because that is how WordPress gets used — the ecosystem as a whole is a security shitshow. Many popular plug-in vendors have abysmal security records. You don’t need to find a vuln in core WordPress to pwn installs.
