In the latest month at Lampminds we have suffered a close-to-massive attack to Wordpress sites. As a result several of our clients ended with broken Wordpress websites. They had to use backups, and we had to use a lot of resources to mitigate the attack and revert all the damage caused.

Lampminds is definitely NOT Wordpress-friendly. We do not like nor recommend Wordpress as a trustable platform for a long-term project. Why? Take a look to how a weekly mailing from one of the most reputated malware detection plugin for Wordpress starts (check the image above):

147 plugins with vulnerabilities detected in the last week?

Aham. So that means that 147 different developers or teams (sorry guys it's your fault) have made mistakes... over a single week!? 161 vulnerabilities times 52 weeks a year: more than eight thousand vulnerabilites per year? 

Do you know how many vulnerabilities have been discovered on Laravel over the past years? Less than 20. 

So think twice next time you have to trust your website presence, or any important project, to a cheap and easy to setup web platform...
