Best WordPress Security Plugins for 2025

Introduction WordPress is the world’s most popular content management system (CMS), powering over 40% of all websites. While its flexibility and ease of use make it a preferred choice for bloggers, businesses, and developers, its popularity also makes it a prime target for hackers, malware, brute force attacks, and security vulnerabilities. One of the best ways to protect your WordPress site is…

URL Antivirus Scanner - Ensure a Secure Browsing Experience

[unnecessary-feelings]

off 2 a bad start. i accidentally installed it from a website that may or may not have had malware in it 👍

hrm... i should play pokemon infinite fusion

PSA! THERE IS MALWARE ON YAYTEXT!

I'm not fully sure just how relevant this will be, but if anyone else uses yaytext to fancify their text with unicode, please be aware that there is now malware on the yaytext website ( yaytext.com ). it has been on there for at least a week now, so if you have gone onto the site, you might have been infected!

WHAT NOW? IF YOU HAVE VISITED YAYTEXT:

first, run a malware scan on your computer. you can do this for FREE with malwarebytes, bitdefender, or kaspersky*. you can find the free versions of these antivirus softwares on their respective websites, and I will link them below for convenience.

after you run the malware scan (hopefully you are not infected!), add the respective browser guard to your browser. as you can see by my screenshot, I use Malwarebytes' broswer guard. if you decide to use their browser guard too, you will still be able to safely use yaytext.

WHERE ELSE DO I GO?

you should assume that yaytext IS NOT safe to use for the time being! there are plenty of other unicode generators out there, however, so you don't have any disruption with your aesthetics.

some alternatives are:

fontspace font generator

lingojam text generator

fontalic

I have just checked all of these sites and none of them have malware on them at this time.

ANTIMALWARE SCANNING

MalwareBytes - free version BitDefender - free version Kaspersky* - free version

*note that Kaspersky is being banned in the U.S. for being a Russian company. The ban is over worries that Russia could use the AV as spyware in the U.S., because the Kremlin can force any company in Russia to share all of their data with them. Despite this, Kaspersky is a top contending cybersecurity research company. If you are not comfortable using Kaspersky, studies have shown that BitDefender provides near equivalent results. source: i am getting my degree in cybersecurity lol

the fallout london installer potentially contains malware and the downgrader has the potential to harvest your steam password. hesitate to download or use these exes until we know more and consider scanning for viruses if you've run the installer

i mean its probably nothing but idk enough about cybersec to dismiss this talk. malware reports are from reddit, and some gaming websites noted that their downgrader casually requests and uses your login info

(you could theoretically run the downgrader through a throwaway steam account and copy it over) (or use a different method)

Simfileshare

Hi everyone! It came to my attention that the second creator's Simfileshare account got hacked so checked mine. None of my files are affected, I secured my account with a new strong password. And all of my files are uploaded in .package format with a couple of exceptions. Please, be careful on the internet. Being hacked is no joke. 3 weeks ago my gmail account was hacked and all of my passwords and some credit card info got leaked on the darkweb. I have spent 3 weeks securing all of my accounts, dealing with charges to my Amazon and Ebay accounts, my website has been hacked and injected with malware (it is fixed, and I had to buy an extra protection by my hosting company), my credit card was charged by some organization in Dubai. Long story short, be vigilant with what you download, scan your computers regularly.

Be Careful Putting Your Phone Down At Panera Bread Locations

I noticed my phone buzzing repeatedly when I'd have it open on the table at Panera, and on further review I realized that my phone was repeatedly scanning an NFC tag on the underside of the table. I'm assuming the servers use these as a shorthand way of confirming that food has been delivered to the correct table.

This is all well and good; this is a prime use case for NFC tags, and using an NFC reader app I was able to see that they're just basic numeric codes. As long as the tags aren't rewritable by anyone, they're not a security risk.

The NFC tags at Panera Bread are rewritable. Like, easily. Using a simple app you can get from the Google Play Store.

What this means is that someone can rewrite the NFC tags to redirect to a download link for malware, or a phishing website, or any number of other attack vectors.

I have more information about this issue on my personal website, as well as a video demonstrating the effect. My recommendation is to keep NFC turned off on your phone unless and until you're actively using it (for touchless payments, bus tickets, etc.).

My eighteenth fic for @badthingshappenbingo!

Fandom: Ninjago

Trope: Tonsillitis

Also available on AO3!

Sick of These Movies

Zane woke up coughing for the eighth night in a row. He thought the problem would go away by now, but his condition was worsening day by day, and every once in a while a new symptom of his suspected illness would affect him, persuading himself even more to just get the surgery done. But he didn’t want the others worrying about him. Yeah, that was the only reason he didn’t want to get treated. He definitely wasn’t scared.

He glanced at the clock on the wall– 3:47 a.m.– and made his way towards the hangar bay, where he knew he would be alone. Well, sometimes even a nindroid can be wrong.

He sat on the chair in front of the supercomputer’s monitor, and started his research on the anatomy of a nindroid. That’s when he realised he wasn’t alone.

“And what do you think you’re doing at this time?” Pixal asked from behind him. Zane flinched and turned around to see his girlfriend standing behind him. “Have you made it a new routine to wake up around this time and roam around the monastery?”

“Pixal, I–” Zane stammered, lost for words, before frowning. “What are you doing awake at this time every night?” He retorted. 

She was taken aback by the question, not sure of a response, and decided to come clean. “I’m worried about you,” she sighed. “You keep coughing, and you’ve made it obvious you’re irritated in other ways too. Don’t think I haven’t noticed how exhausted you are, and how you’re not eating much these days. I know you don’t have to but it’s something you enjoy that you are no longer doing. Not to mention how the ice you’re making melts almost immediately.”

Zane groaned, knowing that he also had to confess to Pixal. “Pixal, I think I have tonsillitis,” he said, his eyes scanning her face for a reaction. “My tonsil drives seem to have gotten a virus from somewhere. I suspect I might have gained it while downloading a movie into my system from tinyurl.com/freemoviesatninjago.”

Pixal dragged a hand down her face. “Why were you pirating movies, Zane?”

“It was not piracy. The website said “100% free, safe and legal. Rated five stars from the government of Ninjago.”

“Zane– you know what, this is ridiculous. We have to fix this.”

“Report the website to the police?”

“We’ll do that later. For now, we have to fix what’s wrong with you.”

“You want me to train myself so that I can easily tell who’s a scammer and who’s not?”

“Well… that too. But for now, I’m talking about your physical wellbeing, Zane. You need to get your tonsils removed.”

“Fine. But make sure it doesn’t hurt, alright?”

Pixal smiled. “You know I’d never hurt you, unless my system gets hacked by malware, although the chances of that happening right now is about 0.36961389999999999…”

***

Nya was startled awake by the sounds of a loud drill working underground. She got out of bed groggily, and tried to process where the noise was coming from. Underground… what’s underground? There’s… there’s… the hangar bay! There’s an invasion! 

She jumped out of bed, swiftly but quietly, and snuck her way through the monastery. As she got closer, and the noises got louder, she could now also make out Pixal’s voice, repeatedly calling out the word “nine”. She’s been hacked! And whoever broke in must be trying to pull her apart using that drill!

Fueled by her own assumptions, she made her way to the relaxation room and threw a couple of darts at the board on the wall, and got through the entrance, ready to deal with the heartless people who thought they could get away with what they did.

As she entered the bay, she expected to see Pixal’s mutilated body on the ground or something. Well, someone was broken apart, but it wasn’t Pixal. Instead, she was met with the sight of the samurai holding Zane’s detached head and drilling through the bottom of his neck.

Nya screamed. “Pixal, NO!” She ran to her and snatched Zane’s head away from her, causing the nindroid to stop reciting the same number over and over again. “Who hacked you?”

“Let me go, Nya,” Zane’s head spoke, earning another scream from her and being dropped to the ground. The head rolled so that it was facing the water ninja. “She has not been hacked. She is performing surgery on me.”

Nya looked at him in disgust. “What sort of surgery requires beheading? And why haven’t you been given an anaesthetic!?” 

“I am a nindroid. I do not need pain medication. I just turned off my nerve circuits. And as for the ‘beheading’, Pixal said it was much easier to remove my tonsil drives that way. As I do not bleed, I am not in danger. Pixal made sure to be careful and detached everything properly.”

Despite the explanation, Nya gagged. “Okay, okay,” she said, handing Zane’s head back to Pixal. “Just do your work, Pix.”

It only took fifteen more minutes for the procedure to end, while Nya sat on a chair a couple metres away, looking at the floor and holding her head. She didn’t want to watch Zane’s head being drilled in Pixal’s hands, but at the same time she wanted to make sure he was okay.

As Pixal tightened the last screw on Zane’s head, she gave Nya a thumbs up. “We’re done. You can look now.”

Nya lifted her head, and smiled as she saw that Zane had been fixed up. “You’ve gotta tell me, Zane,” she laughed. “Why do you even have tonsils in the first place? And what got them inflamed?”

“I’m not sure,” he responded. “I guess my father-- I mean, creator, Dr. Julien, wanted me to look as human-like as possible. I have an appendix drive, too. I hope I don’t install any malware there too, because it would be far more invasive to remove that.”

“Well, don’t go looking for films on ‘tinyurl.com/freemoviesatninjago’ then.”

Zane pouted. “But Jay said it had everything...”

Nya sighed. “Well, now we know the culprit of this mess. Remind me to check for viruses in his computer in the morning.”

“Remind me to tell Wu to punish him,” Zane frowned. “I can’t keep my nerve circuits off for too long and my throat hurts.”

Nya looked at the tonsil drives on the table. “Yeah, those look nasty. And gross.” She looked at the clock and groaned. “Master Wu’s gonna go to wake me up in less than an hour, and I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep in that much time. What do I do?”

Pixal picked up a drive. “Well, I could attach these to Jay’s computer, and the movies are still installed on these, so...”

The girls turned to Zane, who rolled his eyes.

“Fine. Use your sick friend for your own benefits.”

Key Features to look for in Magento Hosting for Maximum Performance

Choosing the right hosting for a Magento store is quite an important issue to ensure a fast, secure, and seamless shopping experience. The following are the key features to look for in Magento hosting for maximum performance:

1. Speed and Performance Optimization: Advanced performance features of Magento hosting should include SSD storage, inbuilt caching like Varnish, and CDNs. These will help boost your website's loading speed so customers won't quit over delays. Search for hosting providers whose servers are optimized for the special demands of Magento.

2. Scalability: Your hosting should grow with your business. Find a solution to handle sudden traffic increases, especially when you run sales or special promotions. Look for scalable resources from cloud hosting, such as AWS or Google Cloud, to maintain smooth operations during heavy loads.

3. Magento Specific Support: Hosting with Magento expertise is vital. It is good to have Magento dedicated support, server configurations specifically for Magento, and compatibility with the latest Magento versions to ensure any problems are dealt with quickly and the sites stay up.

4. Robust Security Features: Since eCommerce remains the main target for cyber-attacks, your hosting should include firewalls, SSL certificates, DDoS protection, and malware scanning. Secure hosting means keeping the sensitive information of customers safe and preserving one's business reputation.

5. Easy Backup and Recovery: Downtime or loss of important data is something catastrophic. Hence, make sure the hosting package you choose covers automatic backup every day and that these are recoverable through a simple process. This provides business continuity, even on unplanned eventualities.

Focus on these features, and you will be able to choose Magento hosting that will add to the performance, reliability, and security of your store to ensure the success of your business in the competitive online market.

Choosing the Right Hosting for High-Traffic WordPress Sites

When it comes to running a high-traffic WordPress site, choosing the right hosting provider can make all the difference. Whether you're running an eCommerce store, a blog, or a business website, performance, speed, and reliability should be your top priorities. Here's a breakdown of the factors to consider when selecting a hosting plan for your high-traffic WordPress site.

1. Scalability is Key

For high-traffic sites, scalability is essential. Look for a hosting provider that offers scalable solutions, such as cloud hosting or VPS, which can handle traffic spikes and provide additional resources when needed. This flexibility ensures that your site stays fast and responsive even during peak traffic times.

2. Uptime Guarantee

Downtime can be catastrophic for any website, especially one that relies on high traffic. Choose a hosting provider that offers a 99.9% uptime guarantee. This ensures that your site is accessible to visitors at all times, minimizing potential revenue loss.

3. Content Delivery Network (CDN)

A CDN can drastically reduce loading times for visitors from different geographical locations. By caching your content on servers around the world, a CDN ensures your site loads quickly no matter where the visitor is located.

4. Fast and Reliable Customer Support

Technical issues can arise at any time, especially when managing a high-traffic site. Ensure that your hosting provider offers fast and reliable customer support, ideally 24/7, to help resolve any issues quickly and efficiently.

5. Optimized for WordPress

For WordPress sites, it’s crucial to choose a hosting provider that specializes in WordPress optimization. Managed WordPress hosting services offer automated updates, enhanced security, and WordPress-specific performance optimizations, which can make a significant difference in site performance and security.

6. Security Features

With high traffic, your website is more likely to attract hackers. Ensure your hosting provider offers robust security measures like SSL certificates, firewalls, malware scanning, and automatic backups to protect your site and data.
