Unless you manage every Wordpress site out there, you're biased.

YOU, are a technical person and understand the value of updates, vetting plugins, etc, yet a majority of these sites aren't run by people like you/me. They are run by end users, with all of the baggage.

You have a point, to an extent. I wholly disagree with your stance on WP though. It's got issues, numerous issues, and a majority of the sites aren't professionally managed.

I don't understand your argument. Are you trying to suggest WP isn't safe or WP isn't easy?
Both.

You're worried about your fleet and that's great. I'm more concerned with the internet as a whole and Wordpress is just vuln after vuln.

I'm happy your systems are secure. That's great.

Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to the 1000s of installations done by amateurs, lax IT, etc. etc. that make the WP vulns a much bigger issue than the 300 you manage.

Manage on, friend.
