Author: Just after my birthday October 23 my blog got hacked and man these folks don’t have a conscience and they don’t care about you. They don’t know that I support my family here in Vegas and in the Philippines with my blog and when something happens like this it really sets me back.
But you know what its part of your business that one of these days you’ll deal with this kind of issue so I took it like a man and I was very calm and focused. You see these hackers they have so much time on their hands and they can figure out new ways to hack into people’s sites.
Even big sites like CNN or even government sites, they’re NOT immune to this, so you really need to protect yourself and you should always be in the defense mode every time so if ever happens you’ll see it right away and have time to fix it before it ruins your entire site.
I created a video for you to watch so you can get an idea on how you can protect your wordpress blog and your business.
Your Business Part 1
Your Business Part 2
Here’s the plugin links that I mentioned on the video WP Security Scan and TAC (Theme Authenticity Checker), also here’s my affiliate link for IX Web Hosting if you want to check it out!
Again please protect your wordpress blog and your business by tightening your security. Also you need to update your wordpress frequently every time they have a new version you should upgrade especially if has to do with securities.
I hope this helps and please get an idea and put it to work to protect your business. If you need my help with anything you can call me @ 702-430-1649, take care and love you guys.
Till Next Time and God Bless You!

Hi Albert,
thanks for putting up all the info so neat and shortly in a video format so that anyone could understand it and it is really useful.
It’s really useful especially people like me who like to turn a wordpress blog into a static website which I’m currently doing for my local companies. I’m totally agree with you that everyone should upgrade their wordpress blog when there is a new update. Very soon,there will be 2.9 version of wordpress and hope everyone is ready to put it in action.
To stop hackers from hacking our site,we need to create some powerful plugins which really can prevent the hackers. Plugins or special softwares like turning the hackers screen into black when they’re hacking one’s site. Ok,I know this may sound so expensive or impossible. But,we need to welcome this because now the entire world is turning towards the Internet and million dollars of transaction is happening and this could be in threat.
I don’t know how far this is true but a friend of mine who is currently working with a software company had told me that some big timers also hiring some hackers just to hack their competitors sites. By doing this,they can find out what is their competitors doing now to increase their sales and trafffic. Please,I’m not pointing anyone here.
So guys,let’s try our best to protect our blogs and business. Let’s help others so others will help you.
Thanks for the post and videos Albert. Keep up the good work.
Hi Nitya,
