					<description><![CDATA[We will explain 7 important WordPress security operation policies that the production company won&#8217;t tell you about, and that you must follow after delivery. 1 Increase the strength of passwords for users on the production site test site Around 20% of WordPress hacks are caused by weak passwords for administrator privileges. Make sure that the passwords for both the production and test sites are a random string of at least 12 characters and alphanumeric symbols, and reset them if they are not. In one case where we were asked to remove malware, the administrator password for the test site was the same as the ID for the convenience of development. In the case of this site, the administrator privileges of the test site were first taken by hackers through a brute force attack, and then a back door was opened and the production site was also tampered with to add unauthorized users, resulting in the spread of malware damage to the entire server. 2 Do not leave test sites unattended Malware today can spread to multiple sites on a server. Therefore, if a test site or any other development data is left unattended on a server, the vulnerability of that site can be exploited by hackers, and the entire server can be tampered with. We recommend that you do not leave abandoned sites that have not been updated for a long period of time (test sites are often such cases) on the server. 3 Regular Updates Some production companies will tell you not to update your site to keep it stable, but this is a huge security risk. This is a huge security risk because the most common reason (60%) for WordPress to be hacked is to exploit vulnerabilities in old plugins or WordPress itself. In some cases, the production companies have disabled automatic updates to prevent updates from being made. The longer this happens, the more likely it is that vulnerabilities will be discovered and the more likely it is that hackers will use WordPress to infect your site with malware. Even if your production company tells you not to update your site, we recommend that you follow the following operational policies. Do not stop the automatic security update of WordPress itself. Update the test site once every few months to make sure it is up-to-date, and keep the production site up-to-date with the latest plug-ins and WordPress itself. If the above is not possible, it may be necessary to pinpoint vulnerabilities on a regular basis and take action to address them. (We also recommend that you update your entire site every year or two to ensure that it is up-to-date.) 4 Neglecting deactivated plug-ins During the production process, the use of various plug-ins may be considered by the production company, and then deactivated, but unused plug-ins may be left unattended. Even if a plugin is deactivated, the vulnerability of the WordPress plugin can be exploited by accessing the program directly. We recommend that you ask your production company why some plug-ins have been deactivated and remove them from the server [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The paid version of our WP Doctor Malware Scanner Pro introduces features and settings that are particularly useful for security-related maintenance of WordPress sites. Security measures with WordPress plug-ins1 Automatic malware scanning, email notification when malware is detected The paid version of WP Doctor Malware Scanner Pro automatically updates the latest malware detection patterns collected and added from malware removal requests, our dummy sites, and online malware information. files at any given time, and notifies you by email if any malware is found. This means that if you are infected with malware, you will be able to deal with it at an early stage. WordPress Plug-in for Security Measures 2 Automatic Vulnerability Check and Email Notification of Vulnerabilities 60-70% of the time WordPress is hacked, it is because of vulnerabilities in older plugins. For this reason, it is an extremely powerful security measure to constantly monitor for dangerous vulnerabilities that could allow a site to be tampered with, and if a vulnerability is found, to close it by updating the site or by other means. WP Doctor Malware Scanner Pro automatically checks your site for vulnerabilities from our constantly updated vulnerability database, and notifies you by e-mail if a vulnerability is found. WordPress Plugin for Security Measures 3 Detects hacking attempts being made on your site and automatically blocks hacker IPs. WordPress is the world&#8217;s most popular CMS, and it is said that 20-30% of all websites in the world are created with WordPress. For this reason, hackers attack a vast number of WordPress sites with automated hacking tools at random. Most of them will not succeed, but even the rare ones will be able to be penetrated and tampered with if they can find a large number of sites with dangerous vulnerabilities left unaddressed. Monitoring and detecting such hacking attempts, and automatically blocking the IPs that are attempting to do so, stops the hacker&#8217;s vulnerability attack in its early stages, and alerts the hacker that you are monitoring the hacking activity on the site, which greatly improves site security. Other free WAF features The free version of WP Doctor Malware Scanner Pro also includes one of the most versatile WAFs (Web Application Firewalls) available to increase the security of your site. Examples of security functions available for free Login Lockdown Login capture Prevent WordPress version leakage Block access to wlwmanifest.xml Prohibit Index listings Prohibit WPSCAN Ban brute force attack IP to XMLRPC,wp-login Ban on REST API Ban direct access to Include files Ban PHP access to Upload folder Comment protection, protection from spam Ban on posting comments via proxy Comment form capture Repair and protection of htaccess and index.php Process monitoring functionality etc. For more information, please click here. How to purchase the paid version of WP Doctor Malware Scanner Pro The paid version of WP Doctor Malware Scanner Pro can be purchased from the purchase tab of the plugin&#8217;s administration page after the plugin has been installed on your site.

					<description><![CDATA[WAF stands for Web Application Firewall. What is a WAF (Web Application Firewall)? WAF is a generic term for software installed on the server side to prevent hacker attacks. Nowadays, individuals and others own (or can own) websites, so the importance of improving site security through WAFs is becoming more and more recognized not only by large corporations, but also at the individual level. Main Functions of WAF There are currently a great number of WAFs that are useful for WordPress, both on your server side and in security plug-ins. The main features of WAFs that are also useful for WordPress are as follows 1 Prohibit foreign access to wp-admin (admin function) 2 Protection of important WordPress configuration files and prohibition of rewriting 3 Suppression of access via proxy (anonymous intermediary server) 4 Prohibition of program execution in upload folders 5 Monitoring and suppression of unauthorized code transmission 6 IP blocking function etc. Examples of Xserver&#8217;s WAF Xserver and other rental servers also offer WAFs mainly specialized for WordPress as WordPress becomes more popular. Dashboard Access Restrictions XML-RPC API Access Restrictions REST API Access Restrictions and more are available. Sakura Internet Server WAF Case Study I see that a similar WAF is also provided by Sakura Internet Servers. A WordPress plugin that functions just like a server-side WAF Most of the server WAF features described above are also available in WordPress security plug-ins. In addition, security plug-ins come with various WordPress-specific security features to prevent hacker attacks, so we recommend that you install one when you operate WordPress. Examples of recommended WordPress security plugins All-In-One Security (AIOS) &#8211; Security and Firewall Wordfence Security SiteGuard WP Plugin (made in Japan, specialized in login security) WP Doctor WordPress: Malware Scanning and Security Plugin (Made in Japan)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There are many security plugins released for WordPress. The following is a list of features that you should have when selecting a security plugin. NO.1 Malware inspection, detection, and removal functions Not many WordPress security plug-ins have the ability to detect malware as well, but WordPress can be infected with malware without you even realizing it, and the ability to remove infected malware from the admin screen is one of the most advanced features of WordPress security plug-ins. The ability to remove infected malware from the admin screen is the most cutting-edge feature in security plug-ins. Wordfence Quttera Web Malware Scanner MalCare WP Doctor Malware Scanner &#038; Security Plug-in and other plug-ins can be used for this functionality. NO.2 Vulnerability Checking Function More than 60% of WordPress hacks are done through vulnerabilities in plugins and other programs. Many plugin vulnerabilities are publicly disclosed, and hackers often use tools that exploit these vulnerabilities one after another to hack WordPress. The main plugins that can be tested for vulnerabilities include the following Wordfence WPSCAN WP Doctor malware scanning and security plugin NO.3 Enhanced Login Screen About 20% of WordPress hacks are caused by logging in by taking away administrative privileges to the admin screen. To make the password for WordPress admin privileges strong, and at the same time, to put a captcha on the login screen to prevent brute force attacks to break the password by brute force, or Changing the URL of the login screen is effective. Plug-ins that can strengthen the login screen include the following All In One WP Security &#038; Firewall SiteGuard WP Doctor Malware Scanning &#038; Security Plugin NO.4 WAF A WAF is a software (in the case of WordPress, a plugin) that acts like a firewall to prevent hackers from attacking your site. In the case of WordPress, it can prohibit excessive access to xmlrpc, prohibit access to Track and Trace functions, prohibit access through proxies (anonymous intermediary servers), block the transmission of malicious strings through HTACCESS, and much more. Plug-ins with excellent WAF features are listed below. All In One WP Security &#038; Firewall Wordfence WP Doctor Malware Scanning &#038; Security Plugin NO.5 IP Blocking Function IP is like the address of each computer connected to the Internet. If the IP is blocked, even hackers will not be able to launch attacks. Plug-ins that record hacker attacks and have the ability to block IPs will provide even stronger protection. Plug-ins with IP blocking functions are listed below. All In One WP Security &#038; Firewall IP Location Block WP Doctor Malware Scan &#038; Security Plugin]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We have summarized some of the security measures taken by WordPress, which are often misunderstood by many people and often result in tampering and malware embedding! My company&#8217;s (my) website has a small number of hits, and a small site like this is not a target. Hackers are always looking for easier sites to break into, and taking over any WordPress site is like getting a free anonymous server, and the value of the hacked site is not greatly reduced just because it has a small number of visitors. Spam mail springboard A virus downloading site that misdirects users from other sites. Hacking even a small site can be used for illegal activities such as spamming, downloading viruses from other sites, and so on. Today&#8217;s ultra-high-performance search engines can pick up even the smallest of sites, and even the presence of vulnerable plug-ins can be found in search results when searching by HTML code content or WordPress folder structure, so the risk of being hacked is not proportional to the number of hits or the size of the site. The risk of being hacked is not proportional to the number of hits or the size of the site. The risk of being hacked is not proportional to the number of hits or the size of the site. There are WordPress security plug-ins that provide advanced protection only for the login screen, but the WordPress login screen is basically a meaningless string of 10 or fewer characters, including single-byte alphanumeric symbols and numbers, that cannot be breached. However, if you neglect to update your plug-ins, themes, and vulnerabilities, you increase the risk of hacking. More than 60% of hackers break into and deface sites by exploiting plugin vulnerabilities, and there are tools available to check and hack through hundreds of plugin vulnerabilities one after another. Themes and plugins that are not in use are safe because they are deactivated (deactivated). WordPress plugins and themes can be toggled from the admin screen to use or not use the functionality. Since plugins and themes are not enabled, you are reassured that they are not being updated, which increases the risk of hacking. This is because many vulnerabilities can be exploited by direct access to the program, so just having a vulnerable theme or plugin on the server can be hacked. We recommend that unused plugins and themes also be updated or removed from the server. We&#8217;ve performed a cleanup of the hacked site in the server, so we&#8217;re good to go. If you have multiple sites (domains) installed and running on your server, you cannot be completely assured that one site has been tampered with and that one has been restored. Advanced backdoors can be traced from the top-level folder in the server to folders in other domains, and even if the site is not vulnerable, they may have the ability to embed arbitrary files or rewrite files. If these backdoors are missed, other sites on the server are at risk of being defaced. If one of the sites on your server has been defaced, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We understand that many sites have installed various security plug-ins to prevent WordPress hacking, but some plug-ins are specialized for the login screen only. These plug-ins do not provide much protection against WordPress hacking. We will explain why. Capturing the WordPress login screen does not prevent many hacks (site tampering, viruses) There are multiple methods by which hackers can deface and hack WordPress. (1) Defacing the administrator&#8217;s password by brute-force and logging into the administration screen (2) Exploiting various vulnerabilities in WordPress and tampering with it. (3) Exploiting vulnerabilities in the server itself to gain root privileges and tamper with the server. (4) Hacking into the database and changing the administrator&#8217;s password or creating a new user to log in to the site and tampering with it. (5) Defacing the site by using backdoors already installed in themes, plug-ins, etc. As you can see, security plug-ins that only enhance the security of the login screen can only prevent the brute force attack in (1). It is also important to note that this type of attack is currently not mainstream and is not used very often. Many of our clients have been relieved to know that WordPress Doctor has been able to remove malware from their systems by only securing the login screen. It is dangerous to be relieved just because you have taken measures to secure the login screen. In the first place, is there any meaning in taking security measures (capturing) of the login screen? WordPress has a function to automatically generate a strong password, and as long as this password is used (unless some major vulnerability is found in WordPress itself), it is unlikely to be breached by a brute force attack. A password that contains alphanumeric symbols and is of sufficient length is so secure that it could not be breached by brute force even if it took 1,000 years. Therefore, if you are using a weak password (a few letters), captcha or login lockdown (where you are prevented from logging in after several failed attempts) may make sense, but if your password is strong enough, the security measures on the login screen will not make much sense. However, if the password is strong enough, the security measures on the login screen will be of little use. In addition, it is possible to conduct a brute force attack to reveal the password by using the WordPress email posting function, etc., in addition to repeatedly enforcing the login from the login screen. WordPress security is meaningless without comprehensive protection against a variety of attacks. We will go through the list again to see how to prevent hackers from hacking the site and how to deal with them. (1) Solve the administrator&#8217;s password by brute force to log in to the administration screen and tamper with it. →Use strong passwords. (2) Falsification by exploiting various vulnerabilities in WordPress →Keep WordPress and plug-ins up-to-date, delete unused plug-ins, or change plug-ins through vulnerability testing, and prevent hackers from checking for vulnerabilities in the site. (3) Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in the server itself [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[We will look at the causes of WordPress hacking by its statistics. 1.Hosting server vulnerabilities Statistics show that the number one cause of WordPress hacks is hosting server vulnerabilities. This is due to a vulnerability in the server&#8217;s configuration or version that is out of date and security holes have not been plugged. If you are not sure about the configuration of your hosting server, it may be safer to use a shared server with less flexibility in configuration. For example, Lollipop servers have a program that determines that WordPress has been hacked and forcibly blocks access to the login screen. 2.Theme Vulnerability Nowadays, a variety of WordPress themes are available for purchase. Some of them use fairly core WordPress functions and have little or no vulnerability protection. (Many of them are made with the idea that all they need to do is look nice.) This is expected to become a problem in the future, but if official templates are used, the template vulnerability problem can be avoided to some extent. In other cases, the only way is to eliminate the vulnerabilities of the template one by one. 3.Plugin Vulnerabilities Plugin vulnerability attacks are the second most common type of attack after template vulnerability attacks. The best way to prevent this is to keep up with updates (especially for plugins with a large number of installations, which are studied by hackers) and to avoid installing outdated plugins. WordPress Doctor also works to close vulnerabilities in individual plugins. 4.Password vulnerabilities This is a vulnerability caused by a weak password for the WordPress administrator. It is estimated that 50% of all successful WordPress hacks exploit this vulnerability. Countermeasures Avoid using names such as &#8220;admin&#8221; or &#8220;administrator&#8221; for the administrator ID, and make the ID complex and long. Passwords should contain single-byte alphanumeric characters, uppercase letters, and be at least 12 characters long. The basic rule is to use passwords that are at least 12 characters long and contain half-width alphanumeric and capital letters. In order to prevent brute force attacks, it is recommended to install a plug-in that captures the login screen and disables login input for several hours after multiple failed attempts.]]></description>
