This is a call to all websites using wordpress... Even some themes are vulnerable. If you cannot hide your Theme Name, at least use a security plugin or change the admin area to the blog. I get to see a lot of www.yourwebsite.com/wp-admin as the back end. now that's appalling. You have a lot of resources on how to change that with the help of a plugin.

Wordpress is awesome in building a website. Even almighty CNN website is running on WordPress (but you'll never know) and that fact has been blocked out. Looking at the source page will reveal nothing.

I still wonder why a high profile web like that will make use of wordpress to power that part of the site. It's like GTB using wordpress for her website (many money go don miss)

GTBANK uses Joomla for the homepage and asp.net for the backend

Seems am going to change the backend of my blog too

If they had used C# ASP.Net this hack would not have been possible.

ASP.Net is vulnerable to many attacks,
the truth is there is no "real" security
on the net. Hackers and security experts
are simply acting Tom and Jerry with one
another.

It seems the person that exposed those documents really planned it, how on earth did he download a file of many. 2.5 terabyte.
In nations like South Korea you'll get fibre optics with unlimited downloads at a consistent download rate of around 24MB/s not the 90KB/s to 4MB/s experienced in naija through wireless or telcoms.

Even iphone is not exempted in the hacking process...any file can be hacked.

I think the leaking of the Panama papers is an inside job, to be able to get almost 3 tetrabyte of data is not easy even if hacking from a remote location.

We dont need this Panama Papers American propaganda which was aimed at starting an anti Putin protest in Russia like the Arab Spring for possible regime change.
Hiw come not a single American was exposed. Iceland PM has been under fire already and their population of 300,000 is less than any capital city in Nigeria.
Panama Papers will not make us to the streets and start a Nigerian spring no matter how many times it is published here. We have enough problems already to deal with.

that is why I dont encourage web administrator to use joomla and WordPress most especially. they can be hacked at anytime, plugins are outdated and with a lot of loopholes.

Quite interesting! We all can guess correctly who are behind this what they hope to achieve. Read this : http://sputniknews.com/us/20160405/1037533905/us-panama-papers.html. and this, http://sputniknews.com/politics/20160408/1037713152/panamapapers-us-usaid-soros-finance.html

Young man, having an SSL certificate does not guaranty that your website can't be hacked.. A lot of hackers are by-passing the https protocol every minute
macaranta:
Hmm if the site was running on https then the company providing the S service is liable to pay for damages.

Please what's the best protection then for a website generally

Having a back ip is the best.. Most websites back up their database every hour.. So if its hacked, your data can be recovered and the website can be online again in no time... Many websites are hacked daily without you knowing.. There was a time nairaland was hacked before they move it to a foriegn cloudbased server, but you won't notice...


Althougj steps can be taken to prevent it, just make sure you have a updated backup, hackers are not smiling dis days o

Yea we do a backup everyday (auto ),the real trouble is a cpanel hack.That one you can't even find where to upload the backup.
