Show Notes

In this episode of WP Builds entitled "Feeling Insecure? Episode #3," Nathan Wrigley and Tim Nash explore various aspects of WordPress security. Tim shares insights into his background in cybersecurity, including his past experience with physical penetration testing. We discuss the Patchstack report on WordPress security, noting an increase in vulnerabilities but reassuring listeners that more vulnerabilities being found isn't necessarily alarming. We get into the complexity of vulnerabilities, security measures like hashing and encryption, and changes coming in WordPress 6.8. The episode highlights the importance of updates and ends with a positive outlook on security advancements. It's a tin foil hat episode, and I hope that you enjoy it!
