Tips to keep your blogs safe
Today, password security is still not given enough attention. People tend to use the same weak passwords that can be cracked in seconds. Consider using a longer password or a fourteen-character variable password. Better yet, use a password manager that can generate and securely store all your passwords. The best way to increase the security of your page or logins is to add a second layer of authentication to your account. Ideally, use a verified app like Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, or Authy outside of SMS authentication codes, a custom CMS plugin, or a platform that provides additional security by generating code.
When Ghost, Drupal, WordPress, Joomla or any other CMS tells you that a new version is available, take that into account. CMS and plugin developers are constantly working to patch vulnerabilities and other emerging issues. Therefore, updating as soon as possible ensures that you use the most up-to-date security measures to drive malicious people away from your blog or website. Similarly, you should only download your plugins from verified sources, as those from unsafe websites or hosts may contain malware.
