  • WordPress by itself is very secure. I have never had a problem with a standard WordPress installation out of the box (no plugins, default theme). It’s when you start adding plugins and changing themes that it can quickly become a bit more less secure.

    The first thing that I’d do is install a plugin called ‘TimThumb Vunerability Scanner’ and run that. TimThumb is one of the first things that people hack, so if it’s on your site, you’re vunerable. After that, I’d do a scan on the site at https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/scanner/ and see what it brings back. That should give you an idea of what to look for to clean your site out.
