I will never buy an IPhone. I know it is a brash statement, but as it stands right now, and for the foreseeable future, it is accurate. All service providers aside ( I feel Verizon is a better Cellular Service Provider then AT&T, but that is not what this post is about), I used to be envious of the people that could get an IPhone, but recent (and not so recent) activities have made me decide I am never going to get one.
In my job, I have seen a ton of hacking attempts and exploits targeting servers and websites. Most often, when someone is hacked it is because some part of their website has allowed for an injection into the code, or a remote file include (Yes, there are other methods, but these are by far the most common).
The reason why exploits like that are so common is because content management systems (like WordPress or Joomla) are fatally flawed. They were not designed with security as the primary goal, they were designed to be easy to use. Don’t get me wrong, Darksideofperfection.com is a WordPress Blog, and I think it is great, saved me days of work from the start, but the question is, how do you prevent yourself from becoming a victim of a hacker?
