I usually back up my site every other day in the evenings just to be safe. I couldn’t image losing all the data we have in our portfolio… nightmare!

Agree. My first ever blog i made was hacked and whast worse, it was just a blog about me and my family with all of my friends visiting it. He deleted all of my posts and i was panicking for hours before i found out i can get back my posts trough feeds. I never understood how can someone do something like that…

I truly despise people who doesn’t do anything but create havoc to people who work hard and make proper and decent living. You work hard to keep your page and then suddenly, you’ll wake up one morning and you were hacked.Pitiful!!!

Unfortunately, keeping up to date doesn’t always work. I had a site that was hacked the same day it was upgraded to WP 3.0. Not fun! Keeping up to date with the latest releases is definitely wise advice – but unfortunately it doesn’t prevent hackers from doing their thing.

I download the full backup to my office every week. (offsite backup)
Costs me a few dozen bucks more, but I can sleep at night…

fortunately wordpress is not a complicated updgrade compared to other scripts I’ve used in the past, as long as your theme is compatible and any plugins you reply on are compatible of course.

Sites that are running older versions are vulnerable but if you keep uptodate you will minimize the risk.
