Implement security measures to prevent WordPress websites from being hacked

上次Sharing a case of a foreign trade WordPress website infected with malware没多久，今天又碰到了一个外贸网站被黑。所以这里给大家分享下怎么做才能减少网站被黑客入侵的风险。

WordPress被黑客入侵的几种表现

WordPress是目前最火的CMS建站程序，所以也会被很多黑客盯着，当你网站出现下面这些症状的时候，那么很有可能就是网站被黑客入侵了。

1. 网站突然弹广告，或者跳转到其他网页。
2. 网站反应很慢，操作迟钝。
3. 网站内容被篡改，或者多了内容。
4. 服务器出现你没有上传的文件。
5. 网站上出现了很多不知道的链接。
6. 突然管理员账号无法登录。
7. 搜索的时候Google提示网站有风险。

WordPress被黑客入侵的影响

网站被黑有哪些影响呢？这主要取决于你发现问题和解决问题的时间，如果只是短时间的被黑，那么对网站影响很小。但是如果你一直不处理好网站被黑客修改的内容，那么时间越长，对你网站来说影响越大。

1. 品牌形象受损，哪个大公司的网站会一直被黑客入侵而不处理的？
2. 损失网站用户和潜在客户，一连几天网站都是无法正常访问状态，没有谁会信任的。
3. 网站SEO受损，不管是百度还是Google，碰到被黑客入侵的网站都会在搜索结果页面做出提示，长时间不处理，会对你网站进行降权，后期想恢复需要花更多时间和精力。
4. 数据或者其他损失。

如何减少WordPress网站被黑的风险

通常来说，黑客都是用软件批量扫网站上的程序，然后发现是否网站有漏洞并且利用的。除非你有敌人，不然没有哪个单独的黑客会针对一个普通网站来研究它的漏洞，所以你只需要做到以下几点，就可以大大增强网站的安全性。

1. 使用新版的WordPress版本
2. 使用新版的WordPress插件
3. 删除不使用的WordPress插件
4. 使用复杂的管理员密码*
5. 给网站找一个可靠的服务器或者服务商*
6. 安装一个WordPress安全类插件*
7. Perform website backup*

Use a complex administrator passwordDo not use common weak passwords. It is best to use a combination of numbers, letters, and symbols. Some foreign trade companies' websites are managed by employees with poor security awareness. Using weak passwords makes it easy for hackers to scan them out.

So, how can ordinary foreign trade websites find reliable servers or service providers?
