Protect your blog using WP – Security Scan plugin
When we talk of blogging, people will be focusing on content & traffic. Hardly anyone talk about security. I feel equally important is security.
Just imagine, you woke up one morning, login to your blog and suddenly found yourself cannot access to it. Or suddenly you found someone has mess up your blog. These 2 incidents will be the worst nightmare for a blogger.
Therefore between content, traffic & security, I feel security is the most important.
There is a security plugin known as Wp-Security Scan that will help to scan your blog and provide some recommendation.
You can download the plugin at:-
http://semperfiwebdesign.com/plugins/wp-security-scan/
Once you have upload to your blog’s plugin folder, you can go to the dashboard.
At the bottom of the dashboard you will see a lock symbol. Click on the lock symbol

You will see a few selections like Security, Scanner, Password tool, Database & Support
If you select Security, it will scan you blog and check the following:-
System Information
• Operating System
• Server
• Memory Usage
• My SQL Version
• Items related to PHP
Wordpress Version- It will hide your wordpress version
Database
Wordpress ID- It will provide recommendation
If you select Scan, it will scan your blog and display the following

It will display your File/Directory location, Need Chmod & Current Chmod
To change the Chmod setting, you need to launch your FTP Software.
Browse to the Permissions column, it will display the value of the existing Chmod.
Highlight the relevant item, right click and select File permissions. At Numeric value, key the number as recommended by Wp-security Scan.
If you follow the recommendations provided in Security and Scan , it will definitely tightened your blog’s security
Now you can sleep well. Cheers. :-D
