The numbers are in and it shows that in just the first 6 months of 2021, there have been 1,767 publicly reported data breaches!
18.8 BILLION records have been exposed so there’s a high chance that hackers know your login credentials.
The first thing you need to do is change your password.
Next and most importantly, add a 2-step verification process to your website.
This means anyone trying to login to your site will need to enter a username and password, then they will have to key in a one-time password that’s sent to their mobile device or email.
Set up 2-factor authentication now!
It takes just 2 minutes to add 2-factor authentication to your WordPress site and will keep hackers out even if they know your password!
Given that cyber threats are rising at incredible rates, I also recommend adding WordPress hardening measures to secure your site completely right away.
This will save you a ton of trouble!
