WordPress is a very common website platform because it is free and easy to use, but this also makes it a more desirable target for threat actors. Keeping a WordPress site up to date is crucial. Fortunately, WordPress does have an automatic update feature which Binary Defense strongly recommends that users enable. Because many plug-ins are community created and distributed, often times critical updates can be slow to release, if an update comes at all. It is generally recommended to use as few unofficial plugins as possible in addition to frequently checking plugins for updates.
