"Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers - organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative - if we don't solve these security problems, then people will hold back." It is a simple yet meaningful quote by Bill Gates, the former chief executive and current chairman of Microsoft, which explains the current standing of website owners and marketers.
The blog owners and Internet marketers today are risk takers. It is true that the Internet can already be translated to money, figuratively but before it literally becomes money, the blog owners and Internet marketers are all taking risks on their time and effort. By establishing a blog and looking for ways to earn money, they do not have any assurance of getting paid on their efforts. There are some who successfully earns a lot of money while some of them fail to even reach the amount that they spent.
Can you imagine creating a blog site intended to earn money and suddenly when you are about to earn money, it was hacked and accessed by some random Internet guy? This is the sad truth about Internet Marketing. Like Bill Gates said, if you don't solve the issues immediately, people will surely hold back and you will lose the money that you are aiming for.
For the people who are using WordPress as their platform, you may already be aware of the possible risks of being hacked. This is probably the reason why WordPress itself released a couple of plug-ins that will ensure that your websites and its contents stay on your possession and keep any malicious things away from your investment.
The Bullet Proof Security WordPress is one of the recent efforts of the company to help protect their users from hacks and exploits. It is specifically designed to protect your site from CRLF, RFI, XSS, CSRF, Code injection, SQL injection hacking and Bse64.
It is also a simple plug-in that can provide one-click protection through the addition of .htaccess website security on your site or pages. This plug-in will also allow you to activate .htaccess website and .htaccess security on maintenance modes inside the WP Dashboard sans the FTP client. It is also made with simple and speedy features that will allow you to use a single-click solution that can create, copy, move, write or rename files into the BPS master files. Basically, the root website folder and the p-admin folder with .htaccess will be fully protection together with other security features.
Having this kind of security plug-in lessens your worries about hacks and exploits and possible damages on your reputation and the trustworthiness of your website in the near future.
