The site, as per ZDNet, was running an older variant of WordPress which made it helpless to the attack. This ought to likewise serve as a calming suggestion to every one of us. 

 At the point when was the last time you took a gander at the plugins you were utilizing on your site? What about your themes? Do you truly require every one of them?

What about those 10 distinct themes you transferred when you were supposing about upgrading the site? Truly, would you say you are constantly going to utilize them? In the event that the response to any of those inquiries is no, then dispose of them.

With 38,461 plugins in the WordPress.org vault at the season of this passage there are presumably no less than a few that will give the same reason yet that are upgraded and evaluated to work with the flow rendition of WordPress.

They contain security fixes, bug patches, and, yes, even some new usefulness or changes. In the event that you are running an outdated form of WordPress, then you likely have gaps in your website's security. 

 Without a doubt, its enticing to jab fun when the huge fellows get egg all over. In any case, gain from their errors. Keep up your website. Redesign your software, themes, and plugins. The contrast between the enormous gentlemen and you is this: They have a group that will settle their site for them on the off chance that they get hacked.
