Attention Bloggers: How To Protect Your Naked Wordpress
We all go to great lengths to protect our blogs and sites from hackers. So I was horrified when I received my newsletter from Barbara informing me that by default, Wordpress will reveal all of the plugins you use (free AND paid) to anyone who looks at http://www.YourDomainName.com/wp-content/plugins/
Web Results show 1-100 of 643,0000 are exposing themselves to hackers. Are you one of them?
It is recommended to upload a blank index.html file into your plugins directory (and themes directory as well).
I've already uploaded my file. Are you willing to take the chance of a hacker having a field day with your site or are you ready to protect your naked wordpress blog?
p.s. talking about blogs
