I was contacted last night by someone I help with their site. They are security conscious and love to really keep up with the latest and greatest. The just got an email in about a new plugin.
I had a look at the link they sent me to WP Spy Blocker and after doing some reading around I decided it was something that they really didn’t need, more importantly didn’t need to purchase. I’m all for saving money and for me the less plugins on your site the better.
From what I could see WP Spy Blocker is a repackage of a WordPress repository plugin called WP Hide, which I actually use on this site.
WP Spy Blocker aren’t actually doing anything wrong because you can redistribute plugins from the WordPress repository. All they have done is remove the original plugin creators details and repackaged it.
However the WP-Hide is what you really want to install on your site to help you with your security system. I will state now, NO SITE is 100% there is always a way in, however doing some things to your site can help you that little bit more in securing your hard work that you put into it.
Let me show you a video on the WP-Hide system.
Now I’m NOT telling you NOT to buy it, what I am saying is there is the same plugin in your WordPress plugin section which is free and does the same thing.
WP-Hide – WordPress Hide & Security Enhancer is a flexible, well-supported, and easy-to-use plugin to hide any WordPress fingerprints and traces making your site Content Management System (CMS) impossible to detect. This is a huge security improvement as your site will less likely get hacked by attackers and boots who try to exploit the huge list of security holes which get bigger every day.
Security at any level is paramount to your WordPress installation and it comes down to you. Don’t buy from fear buy from knowledge and understanding.
