455 million websites are using WordPress!

Now, you would think that with WordPress being so popular, it would be really secure and safe against hackers, right?

Well, not quite. In this video, I’m going to show you how to hack them!

Before we start hacking WordPress, we need to know a bit more about it. If you’ve not heard of WordPress before, It's the most popular way to create websites with little to no coding needed.

It’s a Content Management System also known as a CMS. A CMS is a tool that helps build a website without the need to code everything from scratch.

In fact, most web hosting providers provide an easy one-click installation of WordPress meaning literally anyone can start to create blogs, portfolios and business sites in a matter of minutes.

Some of the world's biggest brands are using WordPress to run their websites. Sites such as TechCrunch, SonyMusic, and Disney

So that is the core WordPress application. From here, users will customise their websites.

The first thing people will usually do is install a custom theme. A theme changes the way your website is designed and looks.

After installing a new theme, users can choose from a huge library of plugins. These plugins provide all kinds of features from contact forms to full-fledged e-commerce stores.

So these are the main components that make up a WordPress website, the core WordPress application, Themes and Plugins.

The problem with WordPress is it can be a nightmare to keep everything up to date and secure. But if you don’t, very quickly vulnerabilities can be discovered in your plugins, themes and even WordPress itself! Then, attackers can use these vulnerabilities to hack the site.
