I have strong security and backup on my WordPress site and web hosting provider. I write articles on cybersecurity that have been used by security researchers and mentioned at cybersecurity conferences, technical report libraries and Wired magazine.
A simple way to improve WordPress security is to change the default login page from wp-admin to some random page name that hackers do not know. You can also add two-factor authentication for login.
Disavow is used to inform Google when a spam or bad reputation website links from their website to your website, without your approval, and they refuse or fail to respond to remove the link that may hurt your reputation and search rank.
For incoming blog comment spam, a blogger can filter, block or delete the spam and backlink to remove the connection.
A trick used by some spammers to sneak past security is they first write a good quality blog comment that is approved and whitelisted. Then the trusted, approved spammer returns later and inserts their spam link. |
