#securityhardening — Public Fediverse posts

If your WordPress malware keeps returning hours after you clean it, the infection probably is not in WordPress at all. I have seen this exact pattern — clean wp-config.php, it comes back, clean again, still back. A forensic case study shows how a webmail log file became a root-level backdoor, sitting entirely below WordPress where no security plugin can reach it.

74% of hacked WordPress sites were running outdated plugins at the time of breach. In my experience, most WordPress compromises are not clever attacks — they are automated scanners finding the weakest door. I have written up the five most common entry points I see in 2025 and what to do before the scanner finds you.

A critical authentication bypass in the Burst Statistics plugin scored 9.8 on the CVSS scale — meaning attackers could take full admin control of a WordPress site with zero credentials. Over 200,000 sites were exposed. If you are running this plugin, my advice is simple: update it now.

Cybersecurity is not a game, not a CTF, not a playground.

It is an ongoing conflict where every exploit has real consequences.

If you think this is a hobby, you risk your own life and those who rely on you.

Implemented a first set of feedback and additions to the nginx hardening guide: https://linux-audit.com/web/nginx-security-configuration-hardening-guide/

Also implemented colored 'tags' to indicate how each measure might help, along adding the rationale to several steps.

What other security measures did you implement?
