  I installed wp with a theme a few years ago and the box was turned into a zombie file dump. Modern php is still not there.

    “I installed some third-party PHP software and didn’t turn on auto-updates for that software, and then my server got hacked” is a hit on your server admin skills, not PHP.

      The attack vector was directly through php. Everything was upgraded to the latest. It was the theme that was hacked. How that is related to admin skills makes no sense.

        If it was the theme that was hacked then it wasn't PHP it was the design of wordpress and the theme specifically.

Wordpress gets exploited because it's popular, not because it's written in PHP
